I am trying to generate driving directions using lat/longs, which works great, except that the sidebar directions list the destinations ambiguously like "Riggs Rd" instead of as a complete address like "5 Riggs Rd" or even "5 Riggs Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22401". Though the directions themselves are correct, the ambiguous address reference can be confusing to the user.
http://maps.google.com/maps?t=m&saddr=38.336209,-77.443091+to:+38.315415,-77.424694+to:+38.384038,-77.376848&z=11&pw=2 Of course I can ask google to reverse geo-code my coordinates and pass the addresses in, but often my generated directions exceed 15 stops and it just doesn't seem necessary to load google's servers for information that I already have. Mapki says after my saddr, "Any text added in brackets is displayed in the sidebar in bold." To me this sounds like I can add the address myself to my google REST call while keeping my marker parameters as lat/long, but I cannot get this to work and cannot find examples anywhere. I have also seen references to this same functionality as a part of the latlng google class, but again, no examples. >From the references I would think that I can add bracketed text like "...38.336209,-77.443091+[text]+to:...", but this doesn't work and I am definitely missing an important detail. For working examples of my problem, please reference http://yardsaletreasuremap.com. Any help would be appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
