Sometimes, we want to fix geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working with JavaScript.
In this article, we’ll look at how to fix geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working with JavaScript.
How to fix geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working with JavaScript?
To fix geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working with JavaScript, we use the Google Maps API.
For instance, we write
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
></script>
to add the Google Maps API script.
Then we write
const geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
const address = "new york";
geocoder.geocode({ address }, (results, status) => {
if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
const latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
const longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
console.log(latitude);
}
});
to call geocode with the address to geocode the address and get the resulting latitude and longitude with lat and lng respectively.
Conclusion
To fix geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working with JavaScript, we use the Google Maps API.
