Is it possible to determine the building (or another landmark) your in with CLGeocoder or any other Apple location service SDK?
I can see the address of my current location using long & lat using CLGeocoder. However, I would also like to return the building I'm in. For example, if I'm in the Rogers Centre in Toronto, I'd like to have that returned based on my current location.
Thanks

I am currently using CosmosClient V3. I am trying to figure out which region I am querying against when I have multi region setup. Previously, in V2 (DocumentClient) we were able to do it using connectionPolicy.PreferredLocations where we will be setting the preferred location and using client.ReadEndpoint we will able to verify the current read endpoint chosen based on availability.
But in V3 I am able to set the preferred location using ApplicationRegion/LimitToEndpoint, but there is no option to validate the which region the SDK choose for the query like client.ReadEndpoint. Is there any equivalent options available in SDK V3(CosmosClient).
You don't need to use LimitToEndpoint. As per the comment on that property:
When the value of this property is false, the SDK will automatically discover write and read regions, and use them when the configured application region is not available.
When set to true, availability is limited to the endpoint specified on the CosmosClient constructor.
Defining the ApplicationRegion is not allowed when setting the value to true.
You need to set the ApplicationRegion, which will make the SDK connect to the closest endpoint based on the account's regions. If your account has one of the regions matching the one the application is in, then it will use that one, otherwise, it will pick the closest one.
You can check the Diagnostics in the query FeedResponse to see which was the region used (please update to the latest SDK).
I'm trying to find inactive members in my GitLab-CE instance via the Gitlab API (v4).
One of the criteria for "(in)activity" is, whether a given user is member of any project or group.
While this information seems to be readily available via the webinterface (Groups and projects tab on the user's overview page in the admin area), I cannot find that information via the API.
The only way i currently found is, to iterate over all projects (resp. groups) and check whether the user is member thereof.
This strikes me as very slow (as there are probably zillions of projects), so I'm looking for a more direct way to query the system for all projects where user is member-of.
As in doc(https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/members.html), you can use:
GET /groups/:id/members
GET /projects/:id/members
to get only members added directly in a group/project
or:
GET /groups/:id/members/all
GET /projects/:id/members/all
to get all members (even those inherit from groups above)
---EDIT regards to #Nico question ---
In order to know if a user is a member of a project the solution tested by #umläute is to iterate over project members then all subgroup untill it reaches the user:
Given \fu\bar\project_p
With project_p.id = 1
bar.id = 10
fu.id = 100
Is user 'Nico' a member of project_p ?
GET /projects/1/members returns ('Paul') / No
GET /groups/10/members returns ('Marc', 'Jean') / No
GET /groups/100/members returns ('Nico') / Yes
Instead Gitlab provide an other API :
GET /projects/1/members/all returns ('Paul', 'Marc', 'Jean', 'Nico') / Yes
I have the following script which is being used in a spreadsheet to calculate the driving distance between two cities or a city and a zip code of another city. It is being run for approximately 25 locations simultaneously. To better explain, I have cell B3 in which I enter a new city every time. The script is then used in cells adjacent to my 25 plant locations to calculate the distance from each of my plants to the variable city.
It uses google sheets built in mapping api and works on 80% of the calculations but returns "TypeError: Can Not Read Property "legs" from undefined. (line 16). The plants that it fails on vary with every new city so its not like it is for certain locations. It is almost like the api times out before it completes some of them. I split it into two separate scripts with a varied name and that worked for a day but then 20% fail again.
To make things slightly more odd, I have another script that sorts the plants based on closest distance to the variable address. When you sort the plants, even the ones with errors go to their correct location based on distance. So it is like the distance script is obtaining the correct disance but displaying the error anyways.
Clear as mud? Would love any input I could get on how to correct the issue or an alternate mapping api that could solve my problems.
function distancecalcone(origin,destination) {
var directions = Maps.newDirectionFinder()
//Set the Method of Transporation. The available "modes" are WALKING, DRIVING, BICYCLING, TRANSIT.
.setMode(Maps.DirectionFinder.Mode.DRIVING)
//Set the Orgin
.setOrigin(origin)
//Set the Destination
.setDestination(destination)
//Retrieve the Distance
.getDirections();
return directions.routes[0].legs[0].distance.value/1609.34;
}
Have you tried using a try-catch block around directions.routes[0].legs[0].distance.value ?
try{
return directions.routes[0].legs[0].distance.value/1609.34;
}
catch (e){
console.log("error",e)
}
or you could try something like this
alert(directions);
alert(directions.routes[0]);
alert(directions.routes[0].legs[0]);
alert(directions.routes[0].legs[0].distance);
alert(directions.routes[0].legs[0].distance.value);
and so on...to find out which one comes up as undefined the first. That might help you to debug the issue.
Enable Direction Api
1)Go to "google cloud platform"
2)go to "Api and services"
3)search for "direction api" and enable it
The directions service is subject to a quota and a rate limit. Check the return status before parsing the result.
For lots of distances (or at least more than 10), look at the DistanceMatrix.
I'm able to run the script from the Script editor, but not from spreadsheet. The error is "unable to read property legs" when the function is called from spreadsheet. But the property is in place when called from Script editor and contain correct values.
You probably need to use WEB API and have API KEY:

I am trying to create a Store Locator with the Google API, very similar to the one in the Google examples here:
http://storelocator.googlecode.com/git/examples/panel.html
However I've hit a wall trying to get the Store Locator API to get the user's position through Geolocation, so when I click on Get Direction in the infowindow I get directions to the user position; instead of having to type my address in the: Where are you? Panel box.
In the documentation what I have seen is that geolocation is a boolean in the View Option that is set to True by default. But this does not solve my problem.
Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?
seems that the googlecode page you said is no longer exist. So I can't give any further insight about what you want to make.
However, by your description, Luckily I made similar site few months ago. It is on Grocery Store Near Me .
The concept of Geolocation is an HTML5 (actually W3C) Geolocation API which is now already embed in most modern browser. It is an API which you can obtain user's location (latitude, longitude, altitude, and accuracy).
you can call it with simply
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, geo_options);
Success and error is a callback function in which you can define.
In my case, the function looks like these
function success(position) {
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
// use the lat and long to call function to fetch an API through AJAX
fetchStoreData(latitude, longitude);
}
In the Store Locator schema (like mine in Grocery Store Near Me), Geolocation is used to obtains user lat and long. The lat and long, then send to server via AJAX to get data about nearby store location.
The server serve an API in which accept lat and long as parameter, then fetch the store data (either using database, or other external API like foursquare), then you can display it either on list, or on a maps.
I am writing an app to use GPS coordinates obtained by the cell phone itself to retrieve the building name of that location.
For example, if I use this http URL to request with Google Place API:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=40.805112,-73.960349&radius=10&sensor=false&key="YourKey"
I can only get the street name of this coordinate through this.
But if I type "40.805112,-73.960349" in maps.google.com. I can get the exact building name. SO I was wondering how can I use Google Map API to obtain the building name I want.
Thank you very much about this!!!
The first result in the request you provided contains "name" : "Church of Notre Dame", isn't this what you are looking for?
A better request if you are only interested in the place name at this location would be to use the rankby=distance parameter instead or radius and to filter by type=establishment:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=40.805112,-73.960349&rankby=distance&types=establishment&sensor=false&key=YOUR_API_KEY
This would return the closest place at the given location.
