geocoding

I was looking for a plugin to create a smart location form field which has a suggested autocomplete. I was unable to find anything suitable (Google Geocode is too unreliable on its own, and it isn't designed for this) so I built my own. I thought it was crazy that in 2011 an open-source global location input plugin like this didn't exist so set out to give it a go. The demo is here http://labs.unxposed.net/unxposed/geocode/ and is working on Chrome and Firefox 4. Download is here https://github.com/unxposed/geocode There is one major issue I am having with it. Sometimes it works great like so.

I would like to combine two datasets on a map in D3.js. For example: 1st dataset: spatial data in .json. 2nd dataset: Data to the areas in .csv --> When you hover on the map a tooltip should show a sentences with some data from the 2nd dataset. I am able to make the map and show a tooltip with data within the .json-file, but how do I insert the 2nd dataset? A new function within my function that creates the map? Do I have to take a completely new way? Should I merge the .json-file with my 2nd dataset before using d3.js? I appreciate any thoughts! :) So, I think what you're asking is how to

I have an App that does forward geocoding (get coordinates given address) to display a bunch of pins on an MKMapView . The app was developed well before iOS supported forward geocoding using CLGeocoder (first available in iOS 5). As such my app uses the Google Maps Geocoding API , which is generally very accurate. Given a full address with a street number it will generally give you the exact location of that address within a couple of metres. I'm doing some updates to my App to support iOS 6 and decided to switch from using the Google API to using CLGeocoder provided the app was running on iOS

I have a database containing addresses that are accurate to building level. When I put these manually into Google Map's search, Google Maps finds them no problem - the markers appears right over the correct building. However, when I pass these same addresses to the Google Maps API geocoder using the below code, the markers show up only on the street and not the building. How do I increase the accuracy? HTML/PHP: <div id="addressline"><?php echo theaddress(); ?></div> JS: function myGeocodeFirst() { geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder.geocode( {'address': document.getElementById(

I am working on a mobile mapping application (currently iOS, eventually Android) - and I am struggling with how to best support reverse geocoding from lat/long to Country/State without using an online service. Apple's reverse geocoding API depends on Google as the backend, and works great while connected. I could achieve similar functionality using the Open Street Maps project too, or any number of other web services. What I really want however is to create a C library that I can call even when offline from within my application, passing in the GPS coordinates, and having it return the country

According to the Geocoder documentation , the class provides methods into a backend service which may or may not exist on the device. If the geocoder doesn't exist on the device, theoretically a geocode request will return no results. However, how can one differentiate between no results due to there being no backend geocoder service vs. there being no results because the location makes no sense? My app already requires the Google Maps API, so perhaps this is a moot point; as a secondary question, does the Google Maps API always include a Geocoder? According to the Google Maps docs , "The

The method Geocoder.getFromLocationName() throws the exception Service not available on Android 4.1, even if GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() returns SUCCESS and Geocoder.isPresent() returns true . Is there any official example for geocoding in the new Google Maps v2 API? Geocoder is not related to Google Maps Android API v2. You may want to use Google Geocoding API directly instead of Geocoder , which gives you limited amount of data and might be affected by device or Android version specific problems. try this ..... public JSONObject getLocationFormGoogle(String
