I want to get POI's latitude and longitude when click POI. As you can see there is POI's latitude and longitude included on URL bottom of the image.
I think it's not available at documentation.
I remember that google map api for Android provide POI's latitude and longitude when I tested 3 months ago.

Answer 1

In order to get a latitude and longitude of the POI when you click on it, you should add a click event listener on the map object. Each time you click on the POI, the map will trigger an event of type google.maps.IconMouseEvent:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/map#IconMouseEvent
You just need to check if event has placeId field and stop event propagation to prevent default info window if it is necessary.
Have a look at the following example that demonstrates how to extract place ID and coordinates of POIs.
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: {lat: 41.3850639, lng: 2.1734035},
zoom: 19
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
map.addListener('click', function(event){
if (event.placeId) {
event.stop();
infowindow.close();
infowindow.setPosition(event.latLng);
infowindow.setContent(
'<div>'
+ '<strong>You clicked place</strong><br>'
+ 'Place ID: ' + event.placeId + '<br>'
+ 'Position: ' + event.latLng.lat() + ',' + event.latLng.lng() + '</div>');
infowindow.open(map);
}
});
}
#map {
height: 100%;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
<div id="map"></div>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDztlrk_3CnzGHo7CFvLFqE_2bUKEq1JEU&callback=initMap"
async defer></script>
I hope this helps!
