How to get a city's Lat,Alt on google maps API having only the name of the city
I'm trying to locate a city latitude and longitude only by having it's name.
I'm trying to use only the Gmaps API and avoiding the use of the webs开发者_运维问答ervice that google offers for geolocation.
after doing a search you can get coordinates trough place.Point.coordinates
example:

<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
var geocoder;
function initialize() {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(34, 0), 1);
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
}
// addAddressToMap() is called when the geocoder returns an
// answer. It adds a marker to the map with an open info window
// showing the nicely formatted version of the address and the country code.
function addAddressToMap(response) {
map.clearOverlays();
if (!response || response.Status.code != 200) {
alert("Sorry, we were unable to geocode that address");
} else {
place = response.Placemark[0];
point = new GLatLng(place.Point.coordinates[1],
place.Point.coordinates[0]);
marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
--> // here you get the coordinates of the founded point
marker.openInfoWindowHtml('<b>Coordinates:</b> ' + place.Point.coordinates);
}
}
// showLocation() is called when you click on the Search button
// in the form. It geocodes the address entered into the form
// and adds a marker to the map at that location.
function showLocation() {
var address = document.forms[0].q.value;
geocoder.getLocations(address, addAddressToMap);
}
// findLocation() is used to enter the sample addresses into the form.
function findLocation(address) {
document.forms[0].q.value = address;
showLocation();
}
