I know place_id, and I need to know it's coordinates.
I can do GET https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?place_id=ChIJOwE7_GTtwokRFq0uOwLSE9g&key=KEY_GOES_HERE
which gives me something like that:
``` "results" : [
{
"address_components" : [...],
"formatted_address" : "New York County, NY, USA",
"geometry" : {
"bounds" : {...},
"location" : {
"lat" : 40.7830603,
"lng" : -73.9712488
},
"location_type" : "APPROXIMATE",
"viewport" : {...}
},
"partial_match" : true,
"place_id" : "ChIJOwE7_GTtwokRFq0uOwLSE9g",
"types" : [...]
}
],
"status" : "OK"
```
but I need to do it via javascript api.
I don't have any maps on my page, just need to get the coordinates.
From the example in the Google Maps Javascript API v3 documentation (with your place_id):
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.getDetails(request, function(place, status) {
if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: place.geometry.location
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(place.name);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
map.fitBounds(place.geometry.viewport);
}
});
code snippet:
var geocoder;
var map;
function initialize() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419),
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var request = {
placeId: 'ChIJOwE7_GTtwokRFq0uOwLSE9g'
};
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.getDetails(request, function(place, status) {
if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: place.geometry.location
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(place.name);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
map.fitBounds(place.geometry.viewport);
}
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
