How do we get a HTTP request in ASP from google API in order to retrieve the longitude and latitude of any location and then use those variables to post forward to another API application that requires the long/lat to return its results in simple ASP script.

In our website the user would search for plumbers in luton and post the request through to the results.asp page, which would then need to dig out the long/lat of luton from google API and post those through to a directory engine returning an xml feed of plumber in and around luton based on radial search of luton

Hi Tom,
Both the code and the explaination were top quality and were very useful.
Is it possible to archive your tutorial and post it for download.
Many thanks!

Hi Tom
a while ago you said
“I should also mention, the other area for expansion with this tutorial is passing multiple postcodes to your server in a single query (both reading and writing). Which could be of significant help if you have lots and lots of markers.”

How can we do this? I am trying to plot multiple markers on a map via twitter posts using the ajax lookup, it works fine for geocoder.getLatLng but using your example only the results of the first request are posted.

in the above example only marker B is at the posted address the other is posted at another location.

Any help is much appreciated - my head hurts

Hi Tom

I have just started looking at the Google maps software, when I stumbled on your page. Both the code and the explaination were top quality and were very useful.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Tom i’ve managed to build my own ASP/Access caching system. But I would like to hardcode UK postcode in script, but i don’t know how ??? I would like that my location is immidiatly displayed and centered on the map without pasting uk post code in input file field.

Tnx

O.K. - this is just a little too weird. Two fellows with the same name - both with a blog on the same topic.

i want to use this code for placing markers on the map where people live.
I want to have a form and then have the client enter postcode and address fields then it will place a marker on the map where they live.
So all markers are there when you browse.
How can i do this thanks.

Sorry!
Additional to above - Please, Please not as the crow flies, I never tried that. I always find it better to drive from A to B.
Thanks again.
