GetLatLngByAddress

Sends a request to TerraFly® servers to geocode the specified address. If the address was successfully located, the user-specified callback function is invoked and the arguments conveyed to the callback function are latitude and longitude for the located point.

    • Example

    The following example shows how to get latitude and longitude by address. 
    <div id="mapContainer"  style="width: 640px; height: 400px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var map0 = new TMap(mapContainer, 25.7590256665386, -80.3738769902151, 15, mapLoaded, 1, true, "", "hybrid");
   
   function mapLoaded() {
            map0.SetPanelVisibility("NAV", "SHOW");
            map0.SetPanelVisibility("ZOOM", "SHOW");
            map0.SetPanelVisibility("OVERVIEW", "SHOW");
        }
   function Button_Goto_onclick(){
            var address = Text_Street.value;
            TGetLatLngByAddress(address, geoCode);
        }
 
   function geoCode(Lat, Lon){
            if ( Lat == 0.0 || Lon == 0.0 ){
                alert("Could not find the location!");
            }
            else {
                map0.PanTo(Lat, Lon);
            }
        }
