We can now try some the supported command. You do need to obtain a Google Maps key and supply that through the configure command. You should then be able to copy any of the example commands below, and so paste them into a terminal and then run them on your Ubuntu command line. The examples are expanded upon through the following sections.

$ ml geocode google anzac parade             # Identify 3 options that match.
$ ml geocode google anzac parade --max=1     # Return just 1 match.
$ ml geocode google anzac parade --url       # Return a URL to display a map.

$ brave-browser `ml geocode google --max=1 --url albany creek`
