I'm coming from the Drupal world where I've created a custom content type, for example schools, and the schools content type has address information. On entering in a new school the address is geocoded into lat and long and then these coordinates are in turn used to display a google map. All this is done piecing together some free modules.

What the concrete5 way to do this? I'm not afraid of writing some php if I need to but I'm curious if this has already been solved and if there is a ready made solution?

I guess I would create a "school" page type and add address attributes. Is there an address module or do you just add the address fields you want?
