Perhaps I should be more specific. And give an example. In Lund Sweden there is a street address named "Lund Mårtenstorget", nearby that street address is a bus station named "Lund Mårtenstorget". Both the street, and the bus station share the same name.
If I go to http://maps.google.se/ and enter the search phrase "Lund Mårtenstorget", it will find the street address as the first option. If I instead enter the search phrase "category:transit Lund Mårtenstorget" then it will limit the search results to the transit stations only. Can I make the geocoding service over HTTP only return the transit stations as well? The service accessible from the http://maps.google.com/maps/geo? that is. // Fredrik On 18 Feb, 19:45, Rossko <[email protected]> wrote: > > I would like to do geocoding on placemarks in the transit station > > category only. > > Is this possible using the geocoding service over HTTP? > > Two answers: > > Yes.
