The Google Geocoding API will do the job for you, description and examples here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/

Well, v2 API says that GPoint does not represent a point on Earth by geographical coordinates but GLatLng does.

To get coordinates you need to use geocoding:

geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLatLng("Moscow", function(point)
{
    if (point == null)
    {
        // nothing found
    }
    else
    {
        // point is an instance of GLatLng with coordinates you need
    }
});
