I have the url of a website, link , where I put an address and clicking the ' Search 'the site gives me the coordinates of this address, latitude and longitude, blz! I copied the code of this site and I want the search, by the coordinates of that address, to be done without having to click the 'Search' button. I have tried to put the function call in form onload and it did not work.
Can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks.
I advise you to use the Google API directly. The following code snippet (using jQuery for Ajax request) gets the latitude and longitude of an address passed by parameter:
$(document).ready(function() {
var endereco = encodeURIComponent("Praça dos Três Poderes - Brasília");
$.get("http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" + endereco,
function(data) {
if (data.status == "ZERO_RESULTS") {
$("#result").html("Endereço não encontrado!");
return;
}
var latitude = data.results[0].geometry.location.lat;
var longitude = data.results[0].geometry.location.lng;
$("#result").html("Latitude: " + latitude + "<br/>Longitude: " + longitude);
});
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script><divid="result"></div>However, it is recommended that you use the Google API for Javascript (you must configure an API key in the Google APIs control panel). Follow the walkthrough at link
Here is the link to get the key that he commented on to use the Google API: link
However, it is important to remember that, as written in the documentation:
If your app's Maps API usage exceeds usage limits, you must load the Maps API using an API key to acquire additional quota.
