hello i need a map for year 2002 for a specific Latitude / Longitude , when i was searching i found that only Landsat was doing capturing since 1984 , i searched a lot and found google engine maps for the place which i need (2006 year was good) but need 2002 which is not possible even in google earth software
here's a picture which shows my problem (right zoom is what i need , left zoom is what i've found)

If you type in a city on Google Maps, it comes up with a faint red boundary. If you right click on the map, the first entry is latitude and longitude coordinates. An example is below (London, UK):
What I'd like to do is copy and paste the coordinates to a .csv file, then go back to the map in the web browser, adjust the cursor so that it moves 0.1 kilometres (to scale), and repeat the process, until I have a list of longitude and latitude coordinates of the whole map on screen, each being 0.1 kilometres apart.
So for instance, if this screen had 1500 kilometres in it, I'd want a list of 15,000 longitude/latitude pairs (because there are 10 pairs per kilometre).
I'd appreciate guidance on where to start with this and whether it is possible!
Not so clear what is your main intention.
Maybe you can achieve it without any Google stuff...
For example public datasets, OpenStreetMap etc.
It depends on the details of your/your customer's requirements.
Or at least consider the followings:
Do you have any permission for this method? (see 2.Prohibited Conduct of Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service)
What about legal Google Maps APIs/services?

Btw. Google as scraping company does not like scraping on their surfaces :)
For example scraping Google Search results...
I am showing world map on dashboard where few locations needs to shown as highlighted. I need to highlight few locations on map based on airport code. For example, IAD is airport code for Dallas, So if a data-center having IAD in its name then Dallas will be highlighted on Map.
Till yet, I tried leaflet.js an open source geo map library. but it requires coordinates to pin a location. I want something like google map (can't use google API as paid tool) where you may pin a location by its name.
If somebody could suggest a library or a heads-up towards how to achieve it, It would be appreciated.
If you are using Leaflet, you will need lat-lng coordinates no matter what.
If you only have placenames, then you'll have to run a geocoding query to convert the addesss/placename into lat-lng coordinates. You might want to start your search in the list of geocoding plugins for Leaflet.
I am developing a website in ASP.NET in which I need accurate coordinates of properties and populate their markers on Google Maps. I read the Google Maps API documentation and it doesn't accept business names or house numbers. So if I add 5 properties on Moseley Road with postal code WR2 6NJ, they all receive the same coordinates at the beginning of the road, where as they're all separate properties with separate coordinates, for example: Arthur Amos Associates Ltd, Moseley Farms etc.
How can I increase the accuracy so each address gets it's own coordinates? I tried the ROOFTOP and street_address parameters but they didn't help. Do I need to get Google Maps API for Work to get this level of accuracy?
Thanks.
I am trying to get a list of nearby airports, given a certain location.
You can do this through the google places api and using types=airport.
The problem is that Google Places is self-policing so any tom, dick and harry can call themselves an airport.
Is there any way to determine whether an airport is real - through google maps?
I know I could double check against an airports database but then I'd be best just using an external database and only use google maps to plot their locations!!
thanks
Geonames will give you airports eg. a search centred on Central Park New York with a radius of 25 kms.
http://api.geonames.org/findNearby?lat=40.776902&lng=-73.968887&fcode=AIRP&radius=25&maxRows=100&username=xxxxx`.
You will need to open a (free) Geonames account to make it work.
Such a search would be in your "external database" category but as far as I know, the entries are not self-certified, so are possibly more reliable than Google's from what you say.
To verify Google results against Geonames results would need to develop and code your own comparison algorithm.
Since Jan 2012, Google has started highlighting search areas in pick color. See the details here:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.in/2012/01/highlight-areas-in-google-maps.html
Does anyone know if this can be programmatically done using google maps API 3? I would want to show my cities in the map highlighted as shown in the link above.
I have already tried the Geocode API where I search for a city. That API only gives me the lat and long information. It does not help me in plotting the city boundaries.
No. It's not available in the API.
(It may be available in the future. Features of Google Maps do migrate into the API, but Google don't make announcements in advance and no-one has a crystal ball.)
You would need to find the city boundaries and draw the line yourself. Boundary data is almost certainly public-domain for the US. Other jurisdictions may not be so forthcoming.
Although a very old post my answer might help somebody out there as am landing on this post every time I query for bounding box:
Yes we can get the bounding box coordinates that google is using to highlight a region using Googles geocoding service. check for the response of the API call in the below sample from Google.
