We're trying to get information of a user based on the lat longitude. Our code has been working fine until a couple weeks ago when we started getting this error.
Here is our code: var reverse_geo_url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q="; + lat + "," + lng + "&key=[key]&sensor=false" console.log("Calling " + reverse_geo_url); new $.ajax(reverse_geo_url, { dataType: "jsonp", timeout: 5000, success: function (data) { // yay } }); Problem is that we all of a sudden are getting Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : Here is an example response from Google's servers (when I go directly to the url) { "name": "33.0024912,-88.4218782", "Status": { "code": 200, "request": "geocode" }, "Placemark": [ { "id": "p1", "address": "Paulette Rd, Macon, MS 39341, USA", "AddressDetails": { "Accuracy" : 6, "Country" : { "AdministrativeArea" : { "AdministrativeAreaName" : "MS", "Locality" : { "LocalityName" : "Macon", "PostalCode" : { "PostalCodeNumber" : "39341" }, "Thoroughfare" : { "ThoroughfareName" : "Paulette Rd" } } }, "CountryName" : "USA", "CountryNameCode" : "US" } }, "ExtendedData": { "LatLonBox": { "north": 32.9994289, "south": 32.9891822, "east": -88.4094885, "west": -88.4393238 } }, "Point": { "coordinates": [ -88.4238788, 32.9952338, 0 ] } } ] } https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding#GeocodingResponses Accessing the Geocoding service is asynchronous, since the Google Maps API needs to make a call to an external server. For that reason, you need to pass a callback method to execute upon completion of the request. This callback method processes the result(s). Note that the geocoder may return more than one result. According to the documentation callback is supposed to be supported. JQuery adds that callback header so I don't get why Google isn't honoring it. *Edit: For reference, the url that my app tries to call is http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=33.8024912,-84.4218782&key=[my key here]&sensor=false&callback=jQuery16409036452900618315_1335293866369&_=1335293866469 Is this something on Google's side? Or is something on our side? Again, this code used to work perfectly. Other posts that I've seen on StackOverFlow, people are saying that when this error shows up in means that the server doesn't support JSONP... What's confusing to me is that this used to work... Did google change their API? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
