Geocode for Bogota

Google has an API that allows you to geocode addresses (or anything that spatial coordinates in their database) e.g.:
&output=csv&key=abcdefg"), n=1, warn=FALSE)
[1] 200.00000 8.00000 37.42197 -122.08414

They limit, however, the number of geocode requests to 15,000 in a 24 hour period. If the url connection breaks, then it might be a good idea to run the same loop one more time and set add a while command to look for the missing coordinates.
