Dear fellow Programmers, I try to use the following google map webservice in order to locate greek addresses: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Ακαδημίας 16&sensor=false and it does not work. If I hit the same exactly address but written with latin alphabet characters: maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=ak...
I need to geocode, i.e. translate street address to latitude,longitude for ~8,000 street addresses. I am using both Yahoo and Google geocoding engines at http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/, and found out that for a large number of addresses those engines (one of them or both) either could not perform geocoding (i.e.return latitude=0,...
When using Googles geocoder service to display a city on a map; filling out a non-existing city results in an error. Is there a way to display some suggestions based on the filled out city? var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder(); function showAddress(address, zoom) { geocoder.getLatLng( address, function...
I have a MS SQL database with a table that stores geocoded "PICKUP" locations which I eventually may or may not want to display depending on search filters the user selects. These are not static like a brick and mortar store locations. They are added by the applications users 24 hrs a day. The life of a "LOAD" is less than 24 Hrs. Once i...

I have a class object called Location that works with Google in order to geocode a given address. The geocode request is made trough an AJAX call and handled via a callback that will initiate the class members once the response arrives. Here is the code: function Location(address) { this.geo = new GClientGeocoder(); this.addres...

I want my application using Google local search and google maps to give my users the ability to choose from a number of locations when there are a number of possible answers to their query. A good example would be "Overton, UK" - there are lots of places with this name in the country, and the google maps website gives several possible "d...
Trying to wrap my head around django forms and the django way of doing things. I want to create a basic web form that allows a user to input an address and have that address geocoded and saved to a database. I created a Location model: class Location(models.Model): address = models.CharField(max_length=200) city = models.CharF...
I'm working on an idea for a service that uses geocoded data (lat/lng) form a US address. Google maps API v3 has been awesome, until I read the terms of service and acceptable uses a little closer. The problem is that the terms seem to prohibit use of the maps API for any commercial use where the site is not freely accessibly to the publ...
I need to distinguish between a Queens style address, from a valid ranged address, and an address with a unit#. For eg: Queens style: 123-125 Some Street, NY Ranged Address: 6414-6418 37th Ln SE, Olympia, WA 98503 Address with unit#: 1990-A Gildersleeve Ave, Bronx, NY. In the case of #3, A is a unit# at street address 1990. THe unit#...
I've got a SQL Server 2008 table with addresses. I've got some C# code that can individually geocode the addresses. I've got a Google Maps API for geocoding. Now I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to use these resources. I could write a console app that manually updates the tables using my C# library, but the data I have...
There exists an unknown target location (latitude and longitude co-ordinates). I have 3 latitude and longitude co-ordinate pairs and for each pair a distance in kilometers to the target location. How can I calculate the co-ordinates of the target location? For example, say I have the following data points 37.418436,-121.963477 0.2657...
What is the most effective and accurate way to geocode a UK postcode? Using the built in geocode object results in massively blurred results (lots of postcodes returning just a general area). Are there any free UK postcode geocoding services I can plug into via JavaScript? ...
I want to be able to convert the intersection of two road in the UK, and get the coordinates of that location. Google only has data for road intersections in the US. Is there any way to get data on road intersections in the UK? ...
I'm trying to create a Django app that would take an inputted address and return a list of political races that person would vote in. I have maps of all the districts (PDFs). And I know that I can use geopy to convert an inputted address into coordinates. How do I define the voter districts in Django so that I can run a query to see what...
Where in the Google Maps API docs can I find a table explaining the accuracy values of Geocode lookups? Has the range of values changed in between V2 and V3? ...
Given a series of GPS coordinate pairs, I need to calculate the area of a polygon (n-gon). This is relatively small (not larger than 50,000 sqft). The geocodes are created by applying an affine transform with data from a world file. I have tried to use a two step approach by doing converting the geocodes to cartesian coordinates: dou...
Hi! I would like to create some kind of open free "group" posting of photos with geotags First I thought about Panoramio, but seems there is no API for photos upload. By now I can see only two ways: Flickr - there are groups but you have to approve group membership anyway, or use tags for grouping which is bad for maintenance Cust...
Can someone help with the info whether GeoAPI is limited to locate businesses within US only? Looked around in their documentation but could not locate it. The limitation I found was for 20k query per key. But nothing related to businesses location limitation. OR Is there any other API that allows to locate businesses around the world?...
