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 started exploring HERE maps few days back and I want to get road specify data (tunnel, bridge, overpass, underpass, speed limit) like the one returned using "Fleet Telematics Advanced Data Sets" after using specific layer. I see that this returns list of all the points that belong to particular tile.
But just want to for gps points that my path has and not on an area. Is it possible using any HERE maps api or any manipulations to the above API or any other WAR?
It is not possible to get road geometry for a single gps point buut rather for the link/road in which the gps point is. If you want to find get road geometry details for the links/roads of a particular route you can get it by using Fleet Telematics API. Adding "attributes=ROAD_GEOM_FCn(TUNNEL,BRIDGE)" can fetch you the details whether the road is a tunnel or a bridge etc. Hope this helps!

I am trying to make a web app based on google map api.I want to put image icon at different position of street in map.
how wiil i get these street coordinate from google map api?
Please give your useful suggestion.
Thanks.
Google have a service called Geocoding - you send a request including an address, a google.maps.latLng, or a Place_ID and it returns an array with all three of them. they explain all about this here.
I am trying to geocode NYC high schools by using the Maps Geocoding API and the unique BN code assigned to each high school. For example, typing K733 into Google Maps results in a marker on MESA Charter High School in Brooklyn, NY. However, when I use the API url like so:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=K733
I keep getting "ZERO_RESULTS". I've also tried using the Places API and I've gotten the same results. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it even possible to pull this information from Google Maps?
It not possible to use unique BN codes for Maps Geocoding API because the address component requires postal address
address — The street address that you want to geocode, in the format
used by the national postal service of the country concerned.
Additional address elements such as business names and unit, suite or
floor numbers should be avoided. Please refer to the FAQ for
additional guidance.
I am new to Google Maps API and I have a requirement to integrate Google Maps API with an ASP.Net application. Is there a Google service where in I can input a UK postcode and radius as input parameters and get results only, without the map.
For example if I search for solicitors in a particular area like Z1 1XY (not real post code) with a radius of 5 mi, can I get the results of all solicitors with the postcodes 5 mile radius? Is there any service that would return the result set only? I know GeoCoding does something similar but can I provide radius as one of the input parameter and get results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

yes, you can use the Google Geocoding API to do address lookups (in this case postcodes). The response contains lat/lon co-ordinates which you can then subsequently use as the epicenter of your search to find items within a radius. Have a look at this blog post on how to use the DbGeography in .NET to perform radius queries based on lat/lon co-ordinates.
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.
