How to find specific point coordinates

1

I need the coordinates of a specific Google Maps point. Like as if I clicked on a point and somehow the API showed me the mnsm string. Well I need to calculate distance between 2 points

Here are examples in HTML page and Android application.

  • HTML Page

    The following example opens a popup when you click on the map:

     
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script><scripttype="text/javascript">
            window.onload = function () {
                var mapOptions = {
                    center: new google.maps.LatLng(18.9300, 72.8200),
                    zoom: 14,
                    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
                };
                var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
                var latlngbounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
                var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
                google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (e) {
                    alert("Latitude: " + e.latLng.lat() + "\r\nLongitude: " + e.latLng.lng());
                });
            }
        </script>
        <div id="dvMap" style="width: 500px; height: 500px">
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    

    See JsFiddle working.

  • Android

    See the example to follow for android:

    Class EventDemoActivity :

    public class EventsDemoActivity extends FragmentActivity
       implements OnMapClickListener, OnMapLongClickListener {
    
          private GoogleMap mMap;
          private TextView mTapTextView;
    
          @Override
          protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
              setContentView(R.layout.events_demo);
    
              mTapTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tap_text);
    
              setUpMapIfNeeded();
          }
    
          private void setUpMap() //If the setUpMapIfNeeded(); is needed then...
          {
              mMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);
              mMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);
          }
    
          @Override
          public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
              mTapTextView.setText("tapped, point=" + point);
          }
    
          @Override
          public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
              mTapTextView.setText("long pressed, point=" + point);
          }
    }
    

    Layout events_demo.xml :

     
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:orientation="vertical">
      <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tap_text"
        android:text="@string/tap_instructions"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
      <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    Code for distance calculation between 2 points:

    public double distanciaEmMetros(double lat1, double long1, double lat2, double long2) {
        final Location start = new Location("Start Point");
        start.setLatitude(lat1);
        start.setLongitude(long1); //
    
        final Location finish = new Location("Finish Point");
        finish.setLatitude(lat2);
        finish.setLongitude(long2);
    
        final float distance = start.distanceTo(finish);
    
        return distance;
    }
