geolocation

I was wondering if its possible to geocode something using googlemaps api synchronously so instead of waiting for a callback function to be called, it would wait for a value to be returned. Has anyone found a way to do something like this. P.S.: I'm using version 3 of the api The Geocoder calls your callback function with the value. That's the only way to do it. If it were synchronous, your script would freeze while it waited for the Geocode to process. There really isn't any reason to do it like that. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Yes, what you are trying to achieve is possible,

So ran into this issue today, where I have a website that needs the geolocation of the user. It was working fine when running locally on localhost, but now I get an error saying "Access to geolocation was blocked over insecure connection to http://localhost:4200 ". WTF Apple? I also tried 127.0.0.1 but got the same result. Am I missing something in the dev settings or did Apple just break everything? Safari Version: 9.1.3 (11601.7.8) Maybe it's possible to use https ( How to get angular-cli to ng serve over HTTPS ) and if not is possible directly for some reason maybe you can use a transparent

OK, so I tried implementing this, http://ipaddressextensions.codeplex.com/ . It is displaying the output as:- 127.0.0.1 RESERVED ZZ What on earth is this "RESERVED" and "ZZ"? It should be displayed as "INDIA IN". The IP address is of the local host. All right, but what about the country name and country code? Why won't they display correctly? What do I need to change in my code? loxxy When you are testing from home, both server and user are one (your PC). So you can't expect it to show the country as the IP address for IIS is a self address. Your code seems to be fine. Also you can use a free

I'm trying to get latitude and longitude from cell tower info using Google's geolocation api . It requires a valid JSON with information like MCC, MNC, cellId, lac etc.., My PHP post request looks like this. <?php header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); $mcc = $_POST["mcc"]; $mnc = $_POST["mnc"]; $cellId = $_POST["cellId"]; $lac = $_POST["lac"]; $post_array = array( "cellId" => (int) $cellId, "locationAreaCode" => (int) $lac, "mobileCountryCode" => (int) $mcc, "mobileNetworkCode" => (int) $mnc, ); $post_data = json_encode(array('cellTowers' => array($post_array))); echo $post_data; $url =

I have already the conversion of latitude and longitude coordinates (current) to pixel coordinates. Then I also successfully plotted the current into still image. But the problem is the still image angle is not proportionate to real world map. Here's the lat & long to pixel convertsion (Thanks to @Dan S , answered here mark a given lat long into still image ): public final static BigDecimal PI = BigDecimal.valueOf(Math.PI); public final static double OneEightyDeg = 180.0d; public final static double ImageSize = 512d; public double getCurrentPixelY(Location upperLeft, Location lowerRight,

Does anyone know of a good and accurate alternative web API for geocoding an address that is not Google or Yahoo? I want to input an address/city/state/zip and have it return to me the latitude and longitude. Ideally, I would involve it via a simple HTTP GET, e.g. http://example.com/?location=123 Main St, New York, NY and it would return JSON or XML with the latitude or longitude information. Geocoder.us is nice, and it is free (or cheap, depending on how you use it) NAVTEQ Geocoder can be your option. You may want to explorer mobile options too: http://developer.android.com Check this for
