Hi,
The two types of geo targeting at the campaign level are the campaign
criteria for
Proximityhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201302/CampaignCriterionService.Proximityand
Locationhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201302/CampaignCriterionService.Location.
The Proximity target allows you to specify a GeoPoint with microdegrees
(i.e. float times 1,000,000) or you can specify the address (which gets
turned into a geo point behind the scenes) - both options allow a radius.
You only need to specify one or the other - both re not required.

I am confused about geoTargeting:
We want to *create a campaign* with a specific targeting area: Either
by address + radius *or* by Lon/Lat point + radius.
My input:
I'm getting the coordinates from google maps, which is a floating-point
number.
google maps also provides the exact/estimated address (st, city, country,
etc).
If I get it right, I can set the target either by ADDing a criterion,
or (from the examples) by 'geoTargeting': { 'proximityTargets': {
'circles': [{ 'latitudeMicroDegrees': 3434543 , 'longitudeMicroDegrees':
654, 'radiusMeters': '9656') }] }, },
1) If it's possible with both methods, then what's the difference?
2) if not, Which method should I use?
3) Google* maps*' coordinates is a float.
Google *AdWords* documentation seems to want an integer.
i saw *in the
group*https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/adwords-api/geopoint$20100/adwords-api/FMIN-1bl95I/0_Bv9aPqJWcJthat
someone multiplied the float by 100.
Is that the correct conversion?
4) in question (1), it's possible to add a *criterion *with *both* address
and geoPoint.
Is that correct?
If so - does it make sense to create a campaign criterion with both
address and geopoint?
