Is possible to add new place to Here maps?
Early wrote that it is impossible (Add and retrieving data from here maps), but it was in 2014.
How are things now?
In the end, I would like to create new places/location like Google maps.
Thank you all in advance for the answers.
You can add Places by locating and providing the place details in https://mapcreator.here.com/. The Here Reviewer Team will review it and add the place post verification. You will be able to view the status of your request as well. Hope this helps!
To make changes or provide feedback about an existing place in Here Maps use the Feedback API. Read more about it here - https://developer.here.com/documentation/map-feedback/topics/example-place-feedback.html

I have installed a Everest GPlaces Business Reviews and have found the place id that is required to be added. But it comes back Saying:
The provided Place ID is no longer valid. Please refresh cached Place IDs as per https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id#save-id
I have read this but I have no idea where to add a field they talk about and am totally stuck. All the reviews plugins have this place id and I don't know what to do from here.
Hoping for some help with what to do. In basic language.
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert; I ran into this problem myself and to my knowledge it seems like reviews can't be pulled easily with most plugins, if the GMB is set up as anything other than a location with a physical address.
Instead of the Places API you'd want to use the My Business API... although if you are using a plugin (and don't want to add a physical location to your GMB) you're stuck.
Could someone point me to documentation that shows how to create a record in a model with one to many relation via client side script.
Thanks in advance!
There are two ways of creating a new record.
1. Via a client-side script
You can do this by calling a createItem function from a widget. This link might help with that.
2. Via a server-side script
You can do this by directly creating a new record, assigning it to the relation of a model and then saving that model. This link might help with this method. By the way, it's easier to do this in a server-side script, as the guide itself says.
Since you just requested the link to official documentation, I've limited my answer to links only. Please feel free to ask if you need clarifications!
I have a ton of saved places that appear on my Google Maps - but there is no way to manage, filter or search them. Is there a way to access these locations by API?
I scanned the maps api and can't find any reference. Is there another Google API that makes this available?
There do have a REST API can retrieve the saved places.
http://www.google.com/bookmarks/?output=xml
Visit this link to get more information.
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/
There are also api like:
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/find?q=conf&output=xml&num=10000
https://www.google.com/bookmarks/lookup?
But seems like they have been deprecated and most of document are not available anymore. Use them as you own risk.
Currently the list of saved places in My Maps is not available via an API. There is a feature request tracking this you can use to follow along # https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2953.
2022: I created a gist for parsing saved places from a shared list via python. It is really unstable because its a quick&dirty solution but maybe it will help someone: https://gist.github.com/ByteSizedMarius/8c9df821ebb69b07f2d82de01e68387d
Edit: The above answer did not yet take pagination into consideration. Please see my answer here.
I wonder if someone here can help here ,in my web application I'm trying to create map section:
In my map section the objective is to show an indoor search like in the attached picture from Yahoo Maps does someone know how they Created the tenants names and level of the floor on the maps it self?

I think the best answer for this one is going to depend on which mapping framework you were interested in using.
If you're using Yahoo maps: Yahoo got that indoor map data from Nokia's here platform. As far as I know, they don't offer an editor for the indoor mapping data. The major mapping platforms often have some self-service mechanism to add or correct mapping data. If you were set on having this available and you were using Yahoo's maps, you might want to try to contact someone at Nokia's "here" and see how you might be able to get that to happen.
With that being said, you can do something like that with Google Maps as well. They have information and a way to add the interior layout of a building here. I haven't used it...I just know that it exists, so I can't speak to it in much detail.
There is also some support for this kind of thing in OpenStreetMap. I would post a link to an example of it, but stackoverflow says I can't post more than 2 links unless I have more than 10 reputation. (Sorry...I'm still relatively new to posting on here.)
I have been trying to develop an app that references google inside search data.
Within the following picture, I would like to extract the picture, name, description, and opened. And display only that information as a result.
I have been looking at google custom search, but i cant seem to find out any information on using this data contained within "google inside search".
If anyone knows how I could reference this information and extract selected information within an app that would be greatly appreciated.
The knowledge base i wanted to use is called Freebase. Once i got the correct terminology it was simple to work out. Google provide heaps of doco on this.
