i am developing an application which makes use of Google maps. Google maps API returns the result with map on new screen but I want to retrieve only the latitude and longitudinal coordinates .. so please help me with:
How to retrieve them
How to dynamically send name and address of the location
This is too broad a question so without further information it is hard to explain.
These link might help:

Use google and you will find a lot more.

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 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.
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:

I realize that the question is pretty complicated and may require much research. Hope anybody can help me to get useful resources to achieve my goal.
I want to have a Google or Bing map on my ASP.NET 4 application (C#) to display all my logged in users as points on the map.
I understand that this involves five major problems
Get the location of the device (most likely standard laptop with IE9 browser) based on its unique IP address.
Integrate Google or Bing map with ASP.NET or Silverlight application.
Display the right portion of the map with the right Zooming depending on logged-in users locations.
Finally, mark the addresses as points on the map.
Note that the locations points should be dynamically reflected when any of the locations is changed.
The database is implemented using SQL SERVER 2005/2008R2
There are geo location services that can give you the latitude and longitude given an ip address.
As you mention you would be storing these in a database, getting all the current users would be simple database call.
Integrating a google map into a html page is very simple. You would only have to emit the necessary javascript from your page.
You should mark the points on the map first.
Google maps api has calls to fit the map to show all current points(fitBounds). I am guessing bing would have something similar.
To reflect the current points, you would have to fresh your locations from the database. I highly recommend an ajax call that returns json and using that to replot the points.
