It sounds like you may be making the API call server side. I ran into this issue earlier today. Since you’ve placed a referrer restriction on your API key, it will be limited to executing on the browser with the web service APIs, including the Geocoding API. It didn’t work for me even when manually … Read more
I’ve looked at the Google Maps api, Yahoo Maps Api, MapQuest API, and the Microsoft Virtual Earth API. None of these free services allow bulk geocoding. But, Google Maps api allows 15,000 goecodes per day. But they don’t like it when you send too many at one time. They suggest waiting 200ms between requests. They … Read more
Got this working in the end using: var arrAddress = item.address_components; var itemRoute=””; var itemLocality=”; var itemCountry=”; var itemPc=””; var itemSnumber=””; // iterate through address_component array $.each(arrAddress, function (i, address_component) { console.log(‘address_component:’+i); if (address_component.types[0] == “route”){ console.log(i+”: route:”+address_component.long_name); itemRoute = address_component.long_name; } if (address_component.types[0] == “locality”){ console.log(“town:”+address_component.long_name); itemLocality = address_component.long_name; } if (address_component.types[0] == “country”){ … Read more
Another option is to use Shapely (a Python library based on GEOS, the engine for PostGIS) and Fiona (which is basically for reading/writing files): import fiona import shapely with fiona.open(“path/to/shapefile.shp”) as fiona_collection: # In this case, we’ll assume the shapefile only has one record/layer (e.g., the shapefile # is just for the borders of a … Read more
To parse your input use the following. function ParseDMS(input) { var parts = input.split(/[^\d\w]+/); var lat = ConvertDMSToDD(parts[0], parts[1], parts[2], parts[3]); var lng = ConvertDMSToDD(parts[4], parts[5], parts[6], parts[7]); } The following will convert your DMS to DD function ConvertDMSToDD(degrees, minutes, seconds, direction) { var dd = degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/(60*60); if (direction == “S” … Read more
It’s a bug in the emulator for 2.2 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8816
As I worked this out last night over at Talk Stats (link), it’s actually pretty easy (as a product of the hours I spent into the early morning!) if you use the R spatial package (sp). I tested some of their other functions to create a SpatialPolygons object that you can use coordinates on to … Read more
iOS 5 now allows for forward Geocoding: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/UsingGeocoders/UsingGeocoders.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH4-SW5 I hope this helps!
The service has been stopped. It is the 8th of March. See the top of this page for information on the death of v2 See The Google Geocoding API for v3 … Edit. Actually, there is a page about upgrading to v3 that may be of use. … Edit. As just pointed out, the Geocoding … Read more
I checked on internet for various polygon area formulas(or code) but did not find any one good or easy to implement. Now I have written the code snippet to calculate area of a polygon drawn on earth surface. The polygon can have n vertices with each vertex has having its own latitude longitude. Few Important … Read more
