When I search "able pest management" on Google Maps web, i get a result but when I do it on Google API Place Autocomplete, it gives me no result. My client is concerned on the discrepancies.
I'm wonder if I can get Ski Trail Name from Google Map api.
For example, I picked a location on google map that displays as ski trail "The Main Street" on Google Map.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B015'31.7%22N+120%C2%B007'42.5%22W/#39.258805,-120.128457,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0
Then I try using google geocode api to get the name of that location.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=39.274178,-120.119568&key=API_KEY
I couldn't get the name of "The Main Street."
I'm thinking I should be querying on a different layer of google maps, but I don't know where to look. Any help is appreciated.
You have to use the Google Place API to get the name or the detailed information about a location on the Google Maps, For specific trails or routes on the Google maps you have to use the Direction API. You have to get the Server API Keys for both the API from Google Developers Console and then put that in the API request call.
Follow the instruction on this Google's official documentation for Places API & Follow the instruction on the Google's official documentation for Direction API set up.
Please have a look at this example for implementation in your app code.
Hope this would Help!!
What is the name of the circle-dot pointer() on Google Maps?
Also, how does one get a business added to Google Maps?
First Question: Google has not published an official legend.
Second question: This is done using Google's "Places for Business" feature.
Where can I find a complete list of countries where Google Maps supports the single search box?
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but the listing of the API coverage offered by Google Maps is at: Google Maps API Coverage
I've started developing a small app which main goal is to draw a map using Google Maps API (v3), and to show business in the area drawn (bars, restaurants and so on).
I found the Google Places API that was supposed to be released this month but it hasn't been. As far as I know the point of that API is to offer results from the Google's database of business, so later we could put those business in the map.
However now I've found this sample which is using the AJAX Search API and Local Search Control for Google Maps to do the same thing.
So the question is, what is the point of the new Google Places API?
Thank you in advance!
The Places API returns a list of locations near a specific lat/lng, while the Local Search API allows for an arbitrary search of Google's database of business listings and other POIs.
