I have to provide such functionality:
User checks 2-10 cities at Google Maps, I count the way between those cities using roads and show the way. The additional information is length of the full way.
Is it possible with google maps?
If you already know the order you want to be travelling to the cities in, then you just have to make a DirectionsRequest using the in between cities as waypoints. If you don't know the order, as long as you know the start and end, you can have Google Maps optimize the order of the waypoints for you.

I would like to retrieve all the road and street names, if i enters a area in search box. Is that possible in Google API ?
I have checked List of all street and road names in Google in API for solution, but there it is been given for auto complete box and the request is not for my requirement.
Also I learnt that Open Street Maps provide us these data, unfortunately I would like to perform some operations based upon the Google API's. So can you suggest me a way, otherthan OSM.
Google Maps API does not provide such functionality. However, there is a Google Maps Roads API which is one of their premium paid APIs which lets you query nearest road names and other road metadata. You can check that out here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads/intro
You can also try Overpass-Turbo (https://overpass-turbo.eu/) which lets you query OSM data. You can set the bounds and the OSM tags you are interested in.
I need to find points that define delimitations of neighbors from Chicago.
My question is: How can I find a list with latitudes/longitudes of all the points that delimit neighbors. For example:
Gold Coast from Chicago is a polygon with 6 points as seen on google map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=m&vpsrc=6&source=embed&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=206241844247425110008.0004b43f0262868b8037f
What is the best way to extract this points so I can draw poly-lines over google map with google API for specific neighbors?
Edited:
So with addresses, which you already have, you can create a Maps API site:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/
and use the Geocoding API to get the latitude and longitude of each of the addresses.
Added: Seems based on your comment that you're looking for neighborhood boundary data. Google Maps doesn't provide that data. There are different venders that do, one I have heard of is the Zillow Neighborhood API. I have never used it so I don't know much about it.
I am designing a google places implementation with google maps in my app.
If I query Google Places there is a limitation of 50000m or 50 km to the search radius.
Say I am in Spain I want to search for a place in Italy. How would I get returns for that from my search?
Thanks in advance.
You would need to set the location in your places query to be in Italy. You can use the geocoder to find convert the location to a LatLng
I guess I am trying to replicate the Google Maps search bar. So that
you just type in a place and it spits out the results. Is there any
way to do that with the Google Places API?
You can use Google Places AutoComplete API to do that. It uses a text based search like "Pizza in Italy"
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Pizza+in+Italy&types=geocode&language=fr&sensor=true&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere
I want to label around 300K addresses according to their longitudes and latitudes on the google map. By labeling, I mean put an indication sign on the map.
Are there any methods to realize it? Thank you.
Best,
Leon
If you mean you have full, proper addresses and you want to geocode them (find lat/lngs) then consider using Google Fusion Tables - its like a spreadsheet to which you can define a location field.
Then, you can tell Google Fusion Tables to geocode those addresses for you and it fills in the lat/lng location, and creates a kml file from this with "infoboxes" which you can define.
The geocoding process should be seen as one-off operation, and may take somewhere between many minutes and many hours to do this work.
Use the geocoding api
Using the public google maps site, how can I show multiple locations on a map. I want to do this using the query string. For example, I might want to show Portland, OR and Seattle, WA.
http://maps.google.com/?q=Portland,%20OR%20AND%20Seattle,%20WA
I don't think it's possible on the Google Maps site, so you probably have to use the API and build a web page with two maps on it, each showing the location depending on the query. You might also want to look at the Geocoding API if you are going with that.
