geolocation

Given the latitude and longitude, how do we convert it to street address using Javascript or Python? 99% of the time, most people link you to Google Maps's API. Not a bad answer. HOWEVER -- Beware of the prohibited uses, usage limits and Terms of Use ! While a distributed app many not run afoul of the usage limit, it is quite limiting for a web app. The TOS does not allow you to repurpose Google's data into an app with your skin on it. You would hate to have your business plan derailed by a cease and desist letter from Google, no? All is not lost. There are several open sources of data,

I need to know is there any API ,from where i can receive the Address of the current place.Using location Manager i have receive the latitude and longitude of the current place ,but i need the address. I have tried the below api. http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng="+ lat + "," + lon + &sensor=true" But it is not showing the exact place .Can somebody help me.@Thanks Pankaj Kumar From a Geocoder object, you can call the getFromLocation(double, double, int) method. like :- private String getAddress(double latitude, double longitude) { StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(

I am using following code to get the location of user in phonegap (it works fine) function getLocation() { var win = function(position) { var lat = position.coords.latitude; var long = position.coords.longitude; var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, long); var myOptions = { center: myLatlng, zoom: 7, mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map_element = document.getElementById("displayMap"); var map = new google.maps.Map(map_element, myOptions); }; var fail = function(e) { alert('Error: ' + e); }; var watchID = navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(win, fail); } This is

I want to implement a locationListener which will switch between network and GPS providers based on availability. For example if GPS is not enabled I want it to use network but as soon as GPS is on then I want it to stop listening for location updates from network and start listening from GPS. Similarly I want it to start listening for updates from network as soon as GPS is switched off. Is that possible? Subquestion Is GPS as fast as network in providing a location fix? Sure, you just get the providers for the network and GPS and pass whichever you want to locationManager

I know this is a very noobish question -- but what is the best way to convert a GeoPoint to a Location on the Android platform. Megha Joshi - GoogleTV DevRel double latitude = geoPoint.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6; double longitude = geoPoint.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6; location.setLatitude(latitude); location.setLongitude(longitude); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3472603/convert-geopoint-to-location

I have the following code below which seems to be working fine: // GPS Reader // Criteria Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); //criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_COARSE); // Used when we can't get a GPS Fix criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); // Used when we can get a GPS Fix criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false); criteria.setBearingRequired(false); criteria.setCostAllowed(true); criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW); LocationListener locationListener = new MyLocationListener(); LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); lm

I am using Google geocoder for lat and lon and my question is, is there a way you can find out zipcode with latitude and longitude? I think what you are looking for is the address_components[] in the results array. Maybe something like this would work, just typing the below so it might have errors in it but I think you will get the idea. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Results function (request, response) { geocoder.geocode({ 'address': request.term, 'latLng': centLatLng, 'region': 'US' }, function (results, status) { response($.map(results, function (item) { return {

i have a problem about HTML5 geolocation feature. I use the code below to get location data. I use "enableHighAccuracy: false" option to work with Cell Based GPS feature. Accurancy is low but response it too fast. But some people always use Built-in GPS with their mobile phone, so this code does not work for them. Bu if i change accurency option as "enableHighAccuracy: true" it works for them. But this time, the code uses only built-in GPS. not CELL based GPS. The question -> How can i do that : First, try to get position from Built-in GPS with timeout (e.g. 5000ms ) if position cannot be got
