Question

I want to use google API in my project. The api i got is from here

And the APi IS :- https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=5000&types=food&sensor=false&key=*******************

NOTE:- I had appended my KEY at the end of this URL. It is showing me proper response. But if i change the latitude and longitude to Gujarat state ( country india) ..Then it is not showing me any response. And the response if ZERO_RESULT

Can anyone help me why it is happening and how to solve it.

I This is want to do this is to get the nearby information of current latitide-longitude.. Is there any other way or api to get the information of nearby area.. Please help me.. Thanks in advance

Solution

I used this snippet and it works for every case.

<body>
<div id="mainpanel" style="float:left; background-color:#fff; width:75%;">
    <div style="display:none;" id="lat">hhh</div><div style="display:none;" id="lon">hhh</div>


<script>
var x=document.getElementById("lat");
var y=document.getElementById("lon");
function getLocation()
  {
  if (navigator.geolocation)
    {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
    }
  else{x.innerHTML="Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";}
  }
function showPosition(position)
  {
  x.innerHTML=position.coords.latitude; 
  y.innerHTML=position.coords.longitude;
  loadScript();
  }

function initialize()
{
var xval=document.getElementById("lat").innerHTML;
var yval=document.getElementById("lon").innerHTML;
var mapProp = {
   center: new google.maps.LatLng(xval,yval),
    zoom:7,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
}

function loadScript()
{
  var script = document.createElement("script");
  script.type = "text/javascript";
  script.src = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDY0kkJiTPVd2U7aTOAwhc9ySH6oHxOIYM&sensor=false&callback=initialize";
  document.body.appendChild(script);
}
//window.onload = loadScript;
</script>
    <form>
        <input class="boxinput" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Phone" id="" name=""/>
        </form>
    <div class="serchbox"></div>
    <div id="googleMap" style="width:960px;height:804px;"></div>

    </div>  
     </body>

OTHER TIPS

If there is no register place on map around given coordinates(latitude & longitude) with given radius then API will responds ZERO_RESULT

To get result

  • Specify correct coordinates(Current location)
  • Radius limit, maximum allowed radius is 50000 meters = 50 KM

Following url is working - Gives places of type food within 30 KM distance from Gujarat (given coordinates).

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=23.0,72.0&radius=30000&types=food&sensor=false&key= [API key]
