I'm completely new to this and have been dabbling in Google Maps for
the past week and got a small test script working for myself. But as
I read more Google Maps FAQs and documentation, the more confused I
get. For my job I have to develop a map that will read and mark
around 500 street addresses read from a file that pretty much stays
the same but is updated every night with any new addresses that might
have been added during the last 24 hours.
Which service do I use - API V3 or Geocoding API?
Is Geocoding API for premier clients only?
Also...
For my test script I copied and pasted from examples I found in here
in example code and possibly someone's website. I thought the actual
geocoding lines (with star * preceding) were Geocoding API, but now as
I re-read the documentation I feel that this is API V3 script. Is it
API V3?
Thanks you.
function initialize() {
//Set up Geocoder
* geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-27.4747354, 153.0272332);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new
google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
downloadUrl("test2_xml.xml", function(data) {
var address =
data.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("CONTACT_ADDR")
[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
//send address to Geocoder
*geocoder.geocode( {'address': address}, function(results, status)
{
* if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
* map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
* var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
* map:map,
* position:results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason:
"+status);
}
});
});
}
