Here is a google maps API V3 newbie with a pretty basic question.
Given latitude and longitude, google maps API V3 is able to retrieve the elevation with a service. But most GPS already retrieve elevation, so my app also stores the elevation. Hence I don't want to use the service, but the retrieved GPS info.
To set the latitude and longitude of a new marker, we set it with new google.maps.LatLng(x,y). Which is the command to set also the elevation to plot in "3D"? I mean: is there such a thing?
Thanks!

The history of latitude, longitude, and elevation at regular intervals is stored in the DB.
We are investigating a method to determine the means of transportation from the history of latitude and longitude using Google Map API.
We are wondering if any of you know of any good solutions.
If you have any good ideas for methods other than Google Map API, we would appreciate it if you could share them with us.
Thank you.
We were investigating overview of Google Map API already.
But we don't have ideal to fix our problem.
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.
If I have 2 GPS points hwo I can call the Google Map API?
normally you would call like http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=XXX301&daddr=YYY.
Instead of address string how would it handle if knowing two GPS points?
http://maps.google.com/?saddr=startLat,startLng&daddr=endLat,endLng
Hi
i get longitude and latitude from google maps using google maps aPI in my database. now i want to show the location name in reports. instead of longitude and latitude
I| am using Telerik reports
How can i do that
See http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding for an explanation of how to use Google Maps API to convert a Lat/Lng to a human-readable address.
How do I plot latitude and logitude using Google Geocoder webservice in asp.net?
There is a full tutorial on how to use Google maps in java script, so if you are using asp.net to display a web page, it isn't too hard:

If you are trying to plot lat and long on to a custom made maps, you would have to deal with the fact that the earth is basically a sphere, and do 3D modeling. Its quite math intensive, and this probably isn't the correct place for this question.
