I want to find where the following coordinates fall on Google Maps.
I know Google Maps works in WGS 84 Standard, however, I can't figure out in what standard this coordinates works. Been helplessly looking the internet but I can't find a reliable source:
<EPSGCode>32636</EPSGCode>
<Eastings>750400</Eastings>
<Northings>3000500</Northings>
Any idea how to convert those to WGS 84? Thanks
Global Coordinate Converter by Reality GIS can be found Here
<EPSGCode>32636</EPSGCode>
<Eastings>750400</Eastings>
<Northings>3000500</Northings>
gives latitude 27.1042722 and logitude 35.5256594

When you search an area on Google Maps (eg.London) it shows you a highlighted polygon of London. What I need to do is to retrieve the LatLng coordinates of this polygon. Looking on Google's API Documentation I didn't find anything matching that need. Is it possible in another way/ workaround to do it?
With regards to the highlighted polygon (boundaries) like maps.google.com does, this is not yet available in Google Maps Platform APIs, however, there is a popular Feature Request with almost 400 stars in our Google Issue Tracker. I suggest you to star this feature request and to receive notifications about further updates of this feature. Here's the feature request Feature: Automatic polygon generation to specified geographic boundary (e.g. state, country).
On the other hand, you can check this documentation to get the latlng points of the polygon.
Hope this information find you helpful and good luck on your application!
I'm trying to find in the Google Maps documentation a way to search for a place and get it's GeoJson polygon but I got no luck finding something like that.
My goal is to create a search bar to search places and then send the geojson polygon to our back-end. I don't want to draw it on a map or anything front-related.
Nominatim is doing exactly what I want but Nominatim policy is very restricted so before I go for an alternative, I wanted to check if Google Maps could provide the same (especially since searching for a country on Google Maps retrieve the polygon and draw it on the map).
Thanks for your help !
Unfortunately Google Maps APIs don't expose any polygons data of geographic features. You can see very old feature request in the Google issue tracker to add this functionality, however it looks like Google didn't set high priority on this task:

Feel free to star the public feature request to express your interest and subscribe to further updates from Google.
You should get polygons from other sources.
I´m building a PHP system where the user will type some GPS coordinates into a table and then the web system will pinpoint that position using google maps. In future we will develop an app for that, but for now the user has to type on the web page his coordinates.
My problem is regarding converting the cellular GPS coordinates to google maps format. We are using the cellular coordinates as decimal degrees DD.DDDD and the cellular show these values ie:
20.23223oS, 46.2737oO
But google maps accepts real numbers, as:
center: new google.maps.LatLng(20.23223, 46.2737)
With this code it does not show the location I can see on my cellular.
How can I convert the above coordinates to google maps ? Can someone has a PHP code for example ?
Thanks for helping.
Ith the location is in Brazil youn simply should remove the last two char for lat (oS) S= South and for lng (oO) O = West and change the sign (both are negative)
Make sure your conversion obtain an negative latitude, longitute (West) in some case if you don't speficy correctly google maps could convert automatically postive value
I want to draw Polylines with the Google Maps JavaScript API. Is there a tool that will help me get the latitude and longitude points by just clicking on the map, then exporting an array of lat-long pairs?
I imagine something like the personalized maps service (My Places) in Google Maps where you can click-snap on the roads to specify your own driving directions. I'd like to take that one step further. That is, to export an array of lat-long pairs that specify the roads traveled.
I know this answer might be a little late but today I was trying to figure out what I believe to be the same issue as this question. So, you can draw the points on the map then get that encoded polyline with Google's Interactive Polyline Encoder Utility then I recommend using Mapbox polyline utility to convert the overview_polyline to latitude and longitude pairs values. The latitude and longitude pairs are also on Googles Utility but it is a bit of a hassle to continuously copy each coordinate.
For more information about the Mapbox Polyline Utility process:

And here is Google's Encoder Utility:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylineutility
You can use the Drawing Tools library:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#drawing_tools
which will give you an encoded polyline. You can use that to draw a line, or you can decode it to get the specific points using the geometry library:

I am designing an application in C++ to view and edit a map of a fictional planet. How it works will be similar to Google Maps. I would like the user to be able to see their current position in latitude/longitude and world coordinates on the GUI.
How can I convert a latitude and longitude values to "world coordinates" and back, as in Google Maps? or to "pixel coordinates" and back?
I found the answer to my question. The formulas for converting between the different coordinate systems can be found in the source code of this example on the Google Maps API website: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-coordinates.html
