Re: MAP GeoCoding

Hi Andrew,

 

Sorry..there was a mistake inmy earlier email

 

Our requirement is

provide a search string and get all points of interests  (POI) and its geo codes near to that...

 

I tried using

 

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=heathrow&output=xml&oe=utf8&sensor=true&key=ABQIAAAAdEZEwe7M6NuDxo0JBS7R7BRbTeImRy1wtbUuIBxMnVOfGGqifhQSiycxkrcubbSUs6y3wLtjsiM4Iw&gl=uk

This will not give any POIs back

 

Also when we get POIs, it will ge great if we get them in specified domain language also..

 

Last fields gl=cn if this gives address back in Chinese, then better...

 

But the above XML interface is not providing all POIs as expected and it not giving address in domain lagauage also.....

 

when i looked on to this interface

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/control-googlebar.html

 

We are able to see many POIs when providing heathrow and it is working as expected ..but not sure how to get the POIs with geo code for us to us in our application...

 

Can you please help me on this..?

 

Many thanks

jenson

Why? The API doesn't come from a different place if you do that.

What are you actually attempting to do? Are you trying to bias the
geocoding results? That is, if someone chooses "UK" and searches for
"Lincoln" you get Lincoln in the UK; but if they've chosen "US" then
it finds Lincoln in Nebraska? If that is the desired result, have a
look at setBaseCountryCode().
