I'm a newbie to Google APIs in general. What's the quickest way to get lat/lon coords from Google Maps? At the moment I'm starting to feel like I should be taking a different approach if I want a Lat/Lon result for one query.
My idea was to use Google Maps, enter a search like "Statue of Liberty, New York," and work from the the "Link" information: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Statue+of+Liberty,+New+York,+NY&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=58.555544,83.320312&ie=UTF8&hq=Statue+of+Liberty&hnear=Statue+of+Liberty,+New+York&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A to find coordinates, which I'd finally use as arguments for google.maps.LatLng(). The problem is that I'm not understanding these variables. The only way I can get results to use with LatLng() is to drag the map so that the link query var resolves with a "ll" Sorry in advanced, I'm sure this is a redundant post but I'm not sure what terms to look for. I'm getting elaborate results with the ones I'm using. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
