geocode

I need name of an area and city I pass the postal code as a parameter. For example I tried http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=382340&components=country:in&sensor=false for a postal code in India. Although this is giving multiple results with irrelevant data. I could get coordinates using the geocode API. I do not need coordinates though, just the area name corresponding to the postal code. How can I achieve this? Try this http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=india&components=postal_code:400003&sensor=false This returns the correct results, which could be

I'm trying to place multiple markers on a map that are provided from an array. Right now only my initial point loads (NYC). var geocoder; var map; var markersArray = []; //plot initial point using geocode instead of coordinates (works just fine) function initialize() { geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); latlang = geocoder.geocode( { 'address': 'New York City'}, function(results, status) { //use latlang to enter city instead of coordinates if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location); marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, position: results

I'm looking to geocode over 5000 addresses at once in a PHP script (this will only ever be run once). I have been looking into google as a potential resource for doing just this, however I've read reports that after running 200 or so queries through them google will kick you off for the day. I was just wondering if there was any other way to geocode 5000 or so addresses, another service like google offers or something similar I could use? Or will I just have to stagger this? The problem is I don't really have much time and to do 200 or 300 a day for 5000 results will take almost 5 (working)

Ok so i have these cords: 55.623151, 8.48215 I would like to see the geo codes 5 km from north, south, east, west from this geo location above^. How can i do this? If you use Google Maps API v3, then you would proceed as follows: Include the Geometry library into your Web page for Spherical Computations : <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=geometry&sensor=false"> </script> Then you can compute: var point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.623151, 8.48215); var spherical = google.maps.geometry.spherical; var north = spherical.computeOffset(point, 5000,

I am trying to find a user's location from a coordinate to save into my database. To find the location name I am using reverseGeocode . However since it is a block method my self.locationName will return (and save as nil) into the database. So I have tried to find a solution to the problem, and tried to put together the following solution using semaphores to try and block until I get a locationName I can save, but the app just hangs when the save button is pressed. Should I even be going about this problem in this way or is there a better way? dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore; - (void

I'm trying to pull tweets using the twitteR package, but I'm having an issue getting them through the searchTwitter function when I specify a geocode the way they have it in their docs. Please see code below: #Oauth code (successful authentication) keyword = "the" statuses = searchTwitter(keyword, n=100, lang="en",sinceID = NULL, geocode="39.312957, -76.618119, 10km",retryOnRateLimit=10) Code works perfectly when I leave out geocode="39.312957, -76.618119, 10km", , but when I include it, I get the following: Warning message: In doRppAPICall("search/tweets", n, params = params, retryOnRateLimit

I have a page with a single form on it. The form contains a text box and a submit button. When the form is submitted, either by clicking the button, or by pressing enter in the textbox, I want to do a lookup (in this case, geocoding a postcode using Bing Maps), and then submit the form to the server, as usual. My current approach is to add a handler for the submit event to the one-and-only form, and then call submit() when I've finished, but I can't get this to work, and haven't been able to debug the problem: $(document).ready(function () { $("form").submit(function (event) { var postcode = $
