Say I am in a location.
Near that location there are regions and famous buildings
like region, kepaduri, wisconsin street, etc.
Is there a way to query google and get info what are the close things near me?
Basically I am making an IPhone apps and I want to populate the autocomplete
If you're looking for a webservice where you send coordinates and it returns a list of "regions" that are nearby I don't beleive Google provides that, and if they did, it's got nothing to do with MKMapView.

Aoa,
I am working on a web application where a shop vendor must put a latitude and longitude of his/her shop.
It is easy to get if he/she is using application from the shop. But if he/she is somewhere else i want to show a map option to the vendor where he/she could search his/her shop point it. And I could get co-ordinates from that marker position.
I have studied google map api found a lot of useful things but couldn't understand how to achieve this as I am unable to find anything regarding getting co-ordinates from the marker.
It will be great if anybody could guide me that where should I look or what should I study to solve my issue.
Thanks in advance..
You can use the Maps JavaScript API to put a marker every time a certain point in the map was clicked then get the coordinates of the point and display it so that your user can directly get the exact coordinate of the marker. Here is a simple code I made to demonstrate this.
In the code, I used a listener to the map to check for every click on the map and put a marker on it. It will then update the label display with the coordinate of the marker.
map.addListener('click', function(event) {
addMarker(event.latLng);
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = event.latLng.lat() + ',' + event.latLng.lng();
});
Hope this helps!
Right-click on the red marker on Google Maps after searching the location, select "what's here?" and you will see the coordinates in a pop-up.
I'm using Google Places API to get a geolocation of the place. I get the points and are able to place it correctly. Searching for the place below the marker is placed in the middle of the building.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/C.D.E.-Centro+de+Diagnostico+de+Elvas,+Lda/#38.8799378,-7.1615604,20.05z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0xd171c6f3bfd342f:0xe99e4c47a055bae3!8m2!3d38.8799892!4d-7.161476
Now what I'm looking for is to place the marker on the address of the building (basically the door) which would be here:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/R.+de+S%C3%A3o+Louren%C3%A7o+17,+7350-026+Elvas/#38.8800482,-7.1619366,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0xd171c691f19dac7:0xe21f4232dc70c067!8m2!3d38.8800482!4d-7.1613894
The only way of doing this right now is to get the place, get the place detail and then, using the address making another call for the new coordinate.
Is this the only way to get the geolocation of a place's address?
Reverse geocoding is your best friend!
Input your address like so, taking out the spaces.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=R.deSãoLourenço17,7350-026,Elvas&key=API_KEY
Then access the coordinates via the geometry field. Hope this helps.
I have a List i want only the Near By places to show up on it ,
lets say in one mile radius.
How can i do so? i searched the Internet A lot didn't find what i'm after i red a few topics about geo-financing but i couldn't make it happen i just want a plugin
or a logic to build one i tried many plugins no thing is working as i expected and they are not well documented i'm sure some of u have done it so please share it with me
can anyone help me please i'm working on Xamarin forums
thanks in advance
Use nearby places to geat the nearby places near the value that you want and place the marker using Xamarin Form Maps if you wish to do so.
Does anyone know how to interact with google maps street view to retrieve a batch number of images (~200) along the street view from point A to point B? I could always manually go and move along the street and "print screen." but this is time consuming. I work for city government, and we're trying to get more info on our streets.
You can take use of the Google Street View Image API, which gives you the ability to link to a picture of the Streetview directly. For example,
this link:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=640x640&location=40.720032,-73.988354&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=10
links to this image:
But there are 2 problems about this Google Street View Image API:
1) It only support up to 640x640, no bigger image for the free account.
2) I think the ToS requires the data be publicly accessible if you are using it for free.
You can solve these by applying to the Google Maps for Work, which I might able to refer you and get discounts.
So I am a novice with coding, but I have found my way around everything enough to run a web design and development freelance operation that builds wordpress sites for news companies, blogs and small non-php websites for local artists, scientists, and writers. So while I am a novice, I think I can figure a lot of stuff out. Maybe you all can show me the beginning of where to start to find out how to do this mini project of mine...
I want to use google map api or openstreetmap to highlight specific sections of streets throughout my city, Philadelphia. I want the highlighted streets to be categorized as "awesome streets" or "shitty streets" and I want each side of the street to be recognized as such. How do I do this? What article or example can I run at and see if I can make it work?
I also need these "street labels" to searchable in the future so that someone might come in and say "Find the nearest shitty street" and then get directions to the nearest point on the nearest shitty street. This second part can be done in the future... but my first task is to label all the streets and all the street sides.
Any thoughts? Google Maps the best for this? Or OpenStreetMap?
THANKS!
