How to get full geo location details using user input in html/html5?

Question

In android I could use google play services and geo location functions to get a user to type a string like "London, England" or "McDonalds" etc.., and have the service take that string and return a set of Location Objects. Each one has a city,address,country,lat,long etc... details.

I'm now making a web app version of it and I want to know if its possible to do this in HTML/html5 with any plugins preferable by trusted companies like Google.

Thanks.

The Maps service was born on the web, of course that exists!
