Google map api - 如何从纬度/经度获取地名

Question

Greetings i was searching for hours and I haven't found anything remotely close to this.

I am trying to use Distance Matrix API , However as an input the api needs the Origin Address aka Name and Destination as well. But i can only provide Origin's Lat/Lng and Destination's Lat/Lng from which i get them using my own markers .

Is it possible to get the place's Name and Address from Lat/Lng of the given origin? Or Am i in whole wrong path to achieve this? any suggestion would be appreciated. thank you.

Answer 1

For your information. DistanceMatric Api works not only with string addresses it also works with lat/lng, place_id as well. Go through below doc https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/intro

So, no need to convert your lat,lng to string addresses.(otherwise simply api hits will increase)

If you want to see result. Check below api. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?units=imperial&origins=40.6655101,-73.89188969999998&destinations=40.6905615%2C-73.9976592&key=[API_KEY]

Note: Replace API_KEY with your api key

Answer 2

You can use the latitude/longitude coordinates for origin and destination parameters. Its in the documentation https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/intro

But if you really want to get the address from latlng you can reverse geocode it like this:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&key=YOUR_API_KEY

here is the link to the documentation for your reference https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start
