I am using Google-maps Geometry Library,
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween
It is not available in the pricing table anywhere. How Google is charging money for the same. I need help for confirmation.
Is it coming from other libraries like places or distance-matrix?
As per new policy one need to compulsorily add GOOGLE_API_KEY and google charges accordingly.
As far as I searched the Geometry library is the individual one and it is a static method.
computeDistanceBetween is just a static method.

I am doing a POC for one of my projects using HERE Geocoding and Search api. I want to search places around a given latitude and longitude and need details of those places including an image/images.
I am using https://browse.search.hereapi.com/v1/browse?at=47.80049,3.57119&limit=2&categories=700-7600-0000,700-7600-0116&apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY} which returns all details of places but without image related details.
So I tried to use https://lookup.search.hereapi.com/v1/lookup?id=here:pds:place:276u33dc-2ba407e1181849c9a761a336b8df1805&apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY} where id is returned as one of the attributes in response of previous /browse call, but again this returns same details (without image) as retuned by /browse api.
I tried to follow this documentation https://developer.here.com/documentation/geocoding-search-api/migration_guide/migration-places/topics-api/place-details.html but it doesn't help much.
So is there a way to retrieve image/images for places using HERE Geocoding and Search api. I would be grateful if some one can share their experience or guide me to correct documentation.
The Media Type attributes are currently not returned in GS7 apis. The same is told in the below document.

I want business description using google API or wikidata API.
As shown in above image I want to access description (which is highlighted in red circle.) and store it into application database.
What I tried till now, I used google place API to get the place information, using that I am able to get information like review,rating,opening hours. But I am not able to get that information which I have mention in above image. But I do not know how to get that information using Wikidata api or Google Knowledge Graph api.
Can any one suggest me that how can I use that API to get that information.
Any help would be highly appreciated !
Thanks,
I'd also be keen to know if this is possible. For example, with a bounding box. 4 coordinates, might it be possible for Google Knowledge or another API to give me a summing up of the place.
For example: bbox=4.721375,52.290843,5.070190,52.399905
Might return information and history on the city of Amsterdam. Like when you type into Google Search "Amsterdam".
Just a thought. I have previously accomplished this with a very manual combination of Overpass API (related to OSM) and Freebase.
I just found this: Find a place description in Freebase using latitude and longitude?
So, it can be done. And it is already documented.
I am developing a small, local delivery website using Wordpress and Woocommerce. I am trying to implement a conditional field or part of code that geofences (may not be the correct term) products to their postcodes. For example people who type in a particular postcode radius are only able to view a selection of products available in their area. It seems I'm looking for a type of SauceyApp.com or Just-Eat.co.uk type search feature. I'm assuming this requires the use of some form of Google Maps plugin. I have been searching for weeks and can't even get insight on where to begin. I was wondering if anyone knew how I can go about this or even a vague idea on where to start?
Google Maps has a Places API where you can put in a location and radius and get an autocomplete for searching local places and lists of places to map by category. To get a users location you could use the Geolocation Api which is supported by most browsers (IE 9+) or a geolocation service. All that's required is an Api key from google, location, and radius. They you can send in options to filter the data. Information on these parameters is listed here in googles docs.
An example query would look like this:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&rankby=distance&types=food&key=YOUR_API_KEY
There are several open source wrappers around this api to give you something to start with:
python-google-places
google-places-api-java
Ruby wrapper for Google Places
Fetch user's current location's latitude and longitude and drop marker on it through google map api also display some information related to that location.
Google map provides a very good documentation about their API. As you want to use the marker on map you may consider using google's tutorial from their documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/markers
For displaying information you may get the idea from here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/infowindows
I have been reading the google maps api and the openstreetmap api, but i cannot find if they offer the following functionality:
I need to find out if at a specific gps coordinate there is a building or a street.
Do you know of any api offering this?
Thanks.
I wonder how you could missed that if you already did look at the documentation.
Of course OpenStreetMap can do this. There is the main API (which is primarily for editing and not for bulk querying!) where you can retrieve all map data within a specified bounding box.
Example:
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=13.76500,51.05600,13.76515,51.05615
This will return all objects between latitude 51.05600 and 51.05615 and longitude 13.76500 and 13.76515. For how to interpret the returned XML file read OSM XML in the OSM wiki.
In order to know if a specific object is a building, a street or something else you have to look at the tags. Buildings are usually tagged using the building key and can either be a single node, a way or (rarely) a relation. Streets are usually ways and are tagged using the highway key.
