Great post. Here’s a geocoding feature that will make your applications smarter and more interactive. Instead of displaying plain text, any address-centric data can be displayed on your site with a live map from Yahoo! or Google. Users will get more accurate information and be engaged in the process http://www.caspio.com/extend/platform-extensions/map-mashup.aspx

Hi,

I am looking for some way to do this in reverse ie if I know the Lat/Lon how could I query with a Google API to get the resulting Postcode for where I am?

Does anyone have an idea of how this might be coded?

Thanks

Hi All,

I recently started working on Google Geocoding API. When i am querying using API(HTTP request) getting less results(some times only one result).

Example Http Request: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=icici, mumbai, india &sensor=false

My client saying that, the other company guys are getting more results for the same address.

Is there any seoperate API provided or is there any other way to do geocode?

Note: The results getting for others are not equal to the resutls returning from the API. but those are equal to the results displaying in http://maps.google.co.in

Any one please help me…

I hope this isnt a silly question, but will this same tutorial work for Canada, which also uses post codes? I was thinking of implementing this on a local directory site of mine. Thanks

Hi Guys
I would love to use this for a form that when all fields are input it shows the desired location on map and also send the info to my email? any thoughts?

As Jan said above, is this possible.

It would be nice to be able to do this as it would make life so much easier!

Thanks

I like it! Can the demo that you have easily be modified to paste in a list of postal codes to see multiple points on the map instead of typing in one by one? And increase / snap the map out to bigger size?

Hi Tom,

I don’t know if you’re notified about any new comments on this post, but… I looked into this stuff around a year ago and this article has kind of sparked my interest again. What I wondered (this was what I originally wanted to do), is can multiple postcodes be handled at the same time. For instance, could I return many postcodes as the result of a SQL query and have them all plotted at once on the map? I then planned to have them merge into clusters with total numbers as I zoom out… I’ve done an example of this with map clustering but it’s static, i.e. The pins are placed by me in the code, not dynamically assigned as a result of geocoding.

Cheers mate,

Chris

Anybody know (ping Tom :0) how to add a unique string + the postcode as a bubble mouseover on the marker?

For some reason all of my markers get the last text string rather than a unique string per marker.

Thanks
