google-latitude

My smartphone reports my location to Google (to G+ and to the Android Device Manager). I'd like to read that location from a website/program to plot my location. I could use another app on my smartphone doing extra tracking but that tends to drain the battery quite a bit (having two apps do the tracking). Since Latitude was deprecated I can't seem to find a replacement. As part of Android Google is offering a location API . However, it sounds like you are looking for some kind of personal web API where you can get access to the location already sent to Google. I'm quite sure that it doesn't

Note, due to changes to Google's "Timeline" this previous answer no longer works . Google offers a "Timeline" service which allows users to access their phone's location history. I want to extract my phone's current location. If I select "today" in Timeline, I can "Export this day to KML" This contains the data I need, but I don't know how to get these data programatically. I don't want to have to log in to the website every time I need this information. The URL it provides is - https://doc-0uom0-1q5a8-s-googleusercontent.commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gs/[hash1]/[hash2]/1441116000000

I need to download google location history data in kml for a period of time. Up until August 26, 2015, a URL in this format worked: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/kml?startTime=$start_seconds&endTime=$end_seconds Now a link in that format fails. I suspect the problem is related to google changing the way its website displays location history , though that change happened nearly a month earlier on July 22. A commenter on the google products forum suggested this: [T]he KML generation can do multiple days, so just edit the URL Eg https://www.google.com/maps/timeline/kml?authuser=0&pb

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function( event ){ alert( "Latitude: "+event.latLng.lat()+" "+", longitude:"+event.latLng.lng() ); }); this code gives us lat long when we click on google map. but it does not work when there is our own geojson layer that is if we have our own geojson layer of polygon over google map then clicking inside that polygon the above code would not work Either add your click event listener to the Data layer or set the Data layer to not accept mouse events ( clickable:false ). Set event listener on Data layer: google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click',

Google will be retiring Latitude soon, along with Latitude's API. But they say on their blog that Location History will still be stored and users will be able to access their history on Google Maps' Location History Dashboard. Do you know if there will be any API for receiving that location history, as there was for Google Latitude? I've discovered that I can dynamically load my location history for any date using the following url: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/kml?startTime=1373666400000&endTime=1373752800000 by changing timestamps in "startTime" and "endTime" parameters.

I am using the following code to get the current location namely (latitude and longitude), but I am not getting current location (latitude and longitude). Anyone knows why? package com.ram.currentlocation; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.location.Location; import android.location.LocationListener; import android.location.LocationManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.Toast; public class Location_Gps extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super

Right this is confusing me quite a bit, i'm not sure if any of you have noticed or used the "my location" feature on google maps using your desktop (or none GPS/none mobile device). If you have a browser with google gears (easiest to use is Google Chrome) then you will have a blue circle above the zoom function in Google Maps, when clicked (without being logged into my Google Account) using standard Wi Fi to my own personal router and a normal internet connection to my ISP, it somehow manages to pinpoint my exact location with a 100% accuracy (at this moment in time). How does it do it? they
