google maps Obtener latitud y longitud desde el código postal

Question

¿Es posible obtener longitud y latitud usando google api simplemente pasando zip/código postal?

Gracias por ninguna pista, bye

Answer 1

Simplemente crear una instancia de google.maps.Geocoder y llamar a su método geocode, pasando en un objeto que posee los atributos necesarios para que sea un GeocoderRequest.

Por lo tanto:

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); 
geocoder.geocode({address: /* zip you got from user input */}, 
    function(results_array, status) { 
     // Check status and do whatever you want with what you get back 
     // in the results_array variable if it is OK. 
     // var lat = results_array[0].geometry.location.lat() 
     // var lng = results_array[0].geometry.location.lng() 
}); 

Answer 2

Se puede utilizar esta alternativa:

URL: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=santa+cruz&components=postal_code:695564&sensor=false

simplemente llame a esta URL en un jquery-Ajax y obtendrá el lat largo en consecuencia .

ejemplo usando jquery-ajax:

$(document).ready(function(){ 

    var zipcode = 695564; 

    $.ajax({ 
     url : "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=santa+cruz&components=postal_code:"+zipcode+"&sensor=false", 
     method: "POST", 
     success:function(data){ 
      latitude = data.results[0].geometry.location.lat; 
      longitude= data.results[0].geometry.location.lng; 
      alert("Lat = "+latitude+"- Long = "+longitude); 
     } 

    }); 
}); 

Muestra resultados JSON de Google api:

    "results" : [
