I am using google map api i am fetching dynamically latitude and longitude from my database.
I want to show address for each position can any one tell me how can id that.
or can any anyone tell how this site is fetching address for each every position.

Fetching the associated address from a coordinates is called Reverse Geocoding
The Google Maps API provides reverse geocoding in the javascript API and as a web service.
The Google Maps service is not intended for bulk use. Your best option is to store the address in your database along with the coordinates as Reverse Geocoding is not always reliable.
You can use google map api like below
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=34.41448,-118.93753&sensor=true
Using this api,you can get address address from key
"formatted_address" : "1271 Cliff Avenue, Fillmore, CA 93015, USA"
Whole address you can get using this api.
Hope need helpful.
I'd guess that site is using the Reverse Geocoding API provided by Google.

I am trying to open up google maps in the browser by passing it 4 points. What is the scheme to launch google maps so it inputs a start coordinate and an end coordinate?
It's not offically documented, but currently this works:
https://www.google.de/maps/dir/origin_lat,origin_lng/destination_lat,destination_lng/
e.g. Chicago to Detroit:
https://www.google.de/maps/dir/41.87,-87.62/42.33,-83.04/
You may also use addresses:
https://www.google.de/maps/dir/origin_address/destination_address/
https://www.google.de/maps/dir/Chicago/Detroit/
The URL parameters for this Google API are destination and origin, here you can use adresses or coordinates as values:
https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/directions?origin=sydney&destination=sydney&key=...
but be aware that for this service you need an API key. When using the javascript API you don't need an API key, at least if you don't have too much traffic.
When I search on maps.google.com for the address "21-6 Udagawacho, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture 150-0042, Japan", it comes up with a result that is the correct result at that exact address.
When I try querying google maps geocoder as well as place service with the same address, however, I always get no results. I've tried the geocoder as well as textSearch and radarSearch for the place service API.
Since the correct result came up on maps.google.com I know that google has the data for the place but why does it not come up in the API queries?
We have a pharmacy search application. We are trying to get the the input address from
user and find pharmacies around that address in a user specified raduis.
We are planning to geo code the address entered by user from a third party service.
After getting the geocodes we will search for pharmacies in our DB around that address and
display the results. With each result there will be a link which will open a new tab/window of maps.google.com displaying the location.
If we use the google geocoding API service to get geocodes will they charge for it ? I am not showing the map on my UI. Is that ok or violating the google terms ? Is the 2500 requests/day applicable for this scenario as well ? I am seeing that MapQuest is a service which will return only geocodes.
Thanks,
Avinash.
Double check with Google's Terms of Service, but generally they begin denying your API requests after you reach your limit. If you are a repeat offender, they may permanently prevent your IP from using their API. The limit is on the calls that you make to the Geocoding API and is unrelated to whether you display a map using their maps api. The following includes strategies for how to work within these limits: https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/geocodestrat
MapQuest just released their Open Geocoding Web Service, which is built using data provided by the OpenStreetMap community, and (currently) does not have a limit on the number of geocoding requests that can be made.
Does the Google Maps API v3 provide a way to access alternate suggestions if the address has typos in it? For example, I am processing a file containing some misspelled street names and getting 0 results back in the JSON from Google for those addresses. If I manually search for that address, Google Maps presents me with alternate suggested addresses. Is there a way to access those with the API in the geocoding response?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I create a small web app, the user add his address and I want to show the map for his address.
Is there a way to get the latitude and longitude for an address? with Google Maps.
Or you could use the geocoding service from google maps: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Geocoding
Here's a simple example for it: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple.html
Yes there is. It is called geocoding. Here is Google's API: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/
