I'm trying to integrate eventbrite's events in my app. I want to locate Event's venue map and not able to fetch venue map's image from any eventbrite's api.
Anyone have idea?
thanks!
Eventbrite uses the venue's latitude and longitude to call the Google Maps API and get the map, thus it's not stored by EB and cannot be retrieved via the API. You can call the Google Maps API and retrieve it yourself though.

The Google Map's places list does not contain toilets in it, but I need to show toilets list on Google Maps. How do I show this data using a Google API?
I'm assuming you're trying to fetch this data via the iOS SDK. You're better off using the Web Service API instead. i.e Issue an HTTP request via the app and then show the places that exist by iterating through the response.
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search#TextSearchRequests is a great place to start. You can use "toilets" or "toilets near me" as the search query.
The user will be prompted enter his address in a textfield and in the backend I want to get the location coordinates of the address.
I’m using geocoding service from google but not any of their APIs. I read somewhere in their document that “use of the geocoder for any purpose other than obtaining locations that will be displayed using the google maps APIs is a violation of the Terms of Service”.
And this is how HTTP request I use
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=ADDRESS_STRING&sensor=false
Can I do this? I’m confused because I'm not showing any map at all but I want to get the coordinates. Will this be violating their terms?
Unfortunately, yes, I think you'd be breaking Google's rules here. See also this answer.
You could still use iOS' built-in forward-geocoding engine. See here for the docs.
Google Maps terms are very restrictive. However, it looks like they do allow showing results without Google Maps (Geocoding API Policies):
You can display Geocoding API results on a Google Map, or without a
map. If you want to display Geocoding API results on a map, then these
results must be displayed on a Google Map. It is prohibited to use
Geocoding API data on a map that is not a Google map.
So you can't display Google Geocoding API results on "non-Google" maps.
Nevertheless, please remember that you still can't cache (only lat/long on the end-use device for 30 days) and store results.
Fortunately, there are many geocoding services that are based on open data. For example, we at Geoapify allow our customers to store and even redistribute data. Try our Geocoding API, and maybe you find that it's a worthy alternative to the geocoding service from Google.
I want to get the coordinates of tweets longitude and latitude, but I don't know how to do it. How to get coordination of data from Twitter API?
HOw do we get the geolocation using Spring social twitter ?
The Tweet class doesn't define a getLocation method.
The geo information of a Tweet will be included when you request that specific tweet via the API, as documented here: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/show/%3Aid
When you do searches for twitter with the searchOperation, it returns a org.springframework.social.twitter.api.Tweet Object which doesn't seem to have the location of the tweets.
However, the org.springframework.social.twitter.api.Tweet object has a
org.springframework.social.twitter.api.TwitterProfile object. The TwitterProfile Object has a location field, which is the users location.
Situation: I want to track some Data with Google Analytics on the server-side.
Problem: My application is able to provide an exact geolocation (lat, lng). I want to track it with GA as the 'users location' so i can show them on a Map in the GA Dashboard.
I know i may track custom variables/events, but am unsure how to plot them on a map in Google Analytics. My company would like to stay with one reporting tool.
You will not be able to plot these in the Google Analytics dashboard, but you should not let this stop you from moving forward. You could do this fairly easily by saving the geolocations in a custom variable and then pulling that data and then plotting it using a combination of the Data Export API and the Google Maps API. You will not, however, be able to embed this within the Google Analytics dashboard.
It currently is not possible to provide geolocation information directly to google analytics. Google automatically extrapolates that information based on data gathered from the web client (e.g. ip address), and you cannot provide that information since you are invoking tracking on the server-side.
It would be nice if google added the ability to provide at least city level geolocation data for server-side tracking, but it doesn't appear possible at this point in time.
Is it possible to extract users current latitude and longitude using google map api for blackberry? If so how?
For newer Blackberry devices at least, you can do this with Google Maps JavaScript API v3. See http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#DetectingUserLocation
