I’ve discovered that I can dynamically load my location history for any date using the following url: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/kml?startTime=1373666400000&endTime=1373752800000 by changing timestamps in “startTime” and “endTime” parameters. Unfortunately it’s in .kml and no granularity data is included. Come on, Google – Latitude has some devoted users who relay on it on daily basis, don’t kill it … Read more
As there is no yet solution offered by the Maps API and manually filling in coordinates is nobody’s business, here’s a gem of an alternative. Found this answer on the GIS website–absolute lifesaver (would’ve saved jurihandl a LOT of minutes drawing Calgary, above ;D): You can get polygon coordinates in json for using with googlemaps … Read more
MapQuest RouteMatrix is pretty much the same thing: http://www.mapquestapi.com/directions/
As said previously iOS7 is more strict with memory usage. This behavior occurs in other browsers like Chrome, so when an app reach upper limit in memory usage, the crash appears. I have isolated two test cases using only Gmaps javascript API and jQuery: Testing with 100 markers: Everything it’s ok http://jsfiddle.net/edfFq/6/embedded/result Testing with 3000 … Read more
There are methods called lat() and lng() that exist on the geometry object’s prototype. So to get the values, just use the following: var place = autocomplete.getPlace(); var lat = place.geometry.location.lat(), lng = place.geometry.location.lng(); // Then do whatever you want with them console.log(lat); console.log(lng); console.warn(‘Warning: I didn\’t test this code!’);
Make sure you have enabled “Static Maps API” service in addition to “Google Maps API”.
If you disable all map elements and then a add new layer (a single country), then only one country is visible. Here is a jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/gvvy5vxz/2/ function initialize() { var mapOptions = { zoom: 5, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, backgroundColor: ‘#FFF’, disableDefaultUI: true, draggable: false, scaleControl: false, scrollwheel: false, styles: [ { “featureType”: “water”, “elementType”: … Read more
For anyone who wants to save some time while looking for specific tile types: h = roads only m = standard roadmap p = terrain r = somehow altered roadmap s = satellite only t = terrain only y = hybrid
The standard unit is meters. Use math to adjust.
I’ve tried doing the request you need using an iframe to show the result for latitude, longitude, and zoom needed: <iframe width=”300″ height=”170″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ src=”https://maps.google.com/maps?q=’+YOUR_LAT+’,’+YOUR_LON+’&hl=es&z=14&output=embed” > </iframe> <br /> <small> <a href=”https://maps.google.com/maps?q=’+data.lat+’,’+data.lon+’&hl=es;z=14&output=embed” style=”color:#0000FF;text-align:left” target=”_blank” > See map bigger </a> </small>
