In our application, we need to allow Users to find a point of interest from which we need to extract the geocodes. Using the geocodes of the POI, our application will show a google map with the POI and nearest locations from a local database (which has addresses already geocoded).
My question is this, is there a Google POI search that will return POI matches with their respective geocodes? If we use the geocoder, then the User must type in the exact address e.g. If I search for "London Victoria Station" I get no results. I need to type "London Victoria Mainline Station" to get the POI and its geocode. What we ideally need is a local search like GoogleBar but which returns the POI matches and their geocodes only. In the example below, "London Victoria Station" works perfectly. Can we use this to extract the geocodes but without using the map? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/control-googlebar.html Many thanks, ViJay --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
