Hi,

how to get the correct place name using google map?

the geocode service of google map only provide the approximate name,
that is, the point '(8.55941666666667, 76.8800266666667)' is Dimensions Logisoft

in google map.but by using geocode return the long name as Technopark Rd.

code,

function getCountry(latLng) {
    geocoder.geocode( {'latLng': latLng},
      function(results, status) {
        if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
          if(results[0]) {
            for(var i = 0; i < results[0].address_components.length; i++) {
              if(results[0].address_components[i].types[0] == "country") {
                alert(results[0].address_components[i].long_name);
              }
            }
          }
          else {
            alert("No results");
          }
        }
        else {
          alert("Status: " + status);
        }
      }
    );
  }

have any idea?


Thanks..
