Find Location by Latitude and Longitude using Google Maps JavaScript
Here is an example of how you can use Google Maps JavaScript API to find a location by latitude and longitude:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Find Location by Latitude and Longitude</title>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.7749, -122.4194); // Replace with your desired latitude and longitude
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: latLng
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<style>
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
</body>
</html>
In the above example, we are creating a Google Map using the latitude and longitude provided (37.7749, -122.4194). Replace these values with your desired latitude and longitude.
The map is displayed in the <div id="map"></div>
element, which has a height of 400px and width of 100% as defined in the CSS.
The initialize()
function is called when the window has finished loading. Inside this function, we create a new LatLng
object with the provided latitude and longitude, and set it as the center of the map. We also set the zoom level to 12.
Finally, we create a new marker object and set its position to the provided latitude and longitude. The marker is then displayed on the map using the map
property.
Remember to replace YOUR_API_KEY
with your actual Google Maps API key, which you can obtain from the Google Cloud Platform Console.
