I would like to know if there is an easy way to show only a specific location on the map for Google Fusion Tables. For instance, I would only like the map to show the state of California. Is this possible?
Yes it is possible. You can make the Lat Lon of california and save it as csv files. Then google fusion table you can import it and also make a marker icon too. Hope that helps your question.

I have been developing an application and I am new to the whole Mapkit idea. I am wanting my app to allow a user to search for a location but only display results like city, state, country and not address or points of interest. I know this may be a simple question but I am having a hard time finding the answer. Just for example if a user typed "San" into my searchbar, it would pull up "San Antonio, Tx, United States" and every other location that has San in it. I'm sure there is a way to implement this without having to create a giant database or json tree. Thank you in advance!
Take a look at MKLocalSearchRequest, thats basic MapKit searching.
I work on the map of the KSA,
but some geographically detailed areas exist as one main region for example the Al Hudud ash Shamaliyah region (city) is present as one region and I want to divide it into four sub-regions (cities) how can I do that?

Unfortunately, this type of map doesn't exist in the Highmaps map collection - https://code.highcharts.com/mapdata/.
however, you should be able to create it by yourself: https://www.highcharts.com/docs/maps/create-custom-maps
or you can report this idea on Highcharts userVoice channel: https://highcharts.uservoice.com/forums/55896-highcharts-javascript-api
Have you considered to leave this region as it is and add a city just as a marker? One of the official demos: https://www.highcharts.com/maps/demo/flight-routes
I am working on a school project and I can't figure out how to have someone search for a location and then have the results show in a table view.
Ive searched everywhere for some way to do this but found nothing.
There are (with the Apple's API, at least) two types of searches:
CLGeocoder lets you search for an address, or do a reverse search on the basis of the coordinates (e.g. to get the address of the selected coordinates). For example:
If you want to search for an address within a region use geocodeAddressString(_:in:completionHandler:) (passing it the map's region);
If you want to search the world for a given address string, use geocodeAddressString(_:completionHandler:);
If you want to perform reverse geocode lookup of a particular coordinate, use reverseGeocodeLocation(_:completionHandler:).
MKLocalSearch lets you search within a particular MKRegion (e.g. the visible portion of the current map) for points of interest. To do that, you:
Create a MKLocalSearch.Request, setting its region (presumably to your map’s region) and naturalLanguageQuery; and
And then instantiate a MKLocalSearch and then start the search with start(completionHandler:).
If your goal is to show completions for an address as a user types it, you can use MKLocalSearchCompleter.
I assume you're looking for the MKLocalSearch, but these are the basic kinds of searches you can do.
Hi Experts and Friends,
I have been searching for a solution for this seemingly simple task for days already, but I don't seem to have come across any useful approach.
Here is what I want:
Get my current location using CLLocation (ok here)
Get the final destination I enter (also ok here)
What I would like to accomplish is: get a list of cities in between these two points.
If the start location lies within the same city limit of the end destination, then simply show only that city in which the start location is.
EX: Current Location SF
Destination: Cupertino
Cities in between: Daly City, San Bruno, etc etc ....Santa Clara....Cupertino.
Is it possible to grab these from Google APIs? And am not talking about the "steps", because many steps can lie within a city limit, am only interested in cities (or county).
If so, which (v2.? v.3?) one? Or from Directions API? How are they different by the way? Am asking because different people seem to have different answers.
Thanks in advance. Regards.
If I have a latitude and longitude, how do I find out the country of that location..
If found out about Google Reverse Geocoding, but unfortunately, it requires the service to be used along with Google Maps, which is not my case..
Is there a static database or something which I can refer to? It would be better if I have a static database as opposed to a service..
Without a service, it is a lot of work.
First, you need the country polygons with assigned country codes. One country will have on average approx 50.000 vertices.
Then it's a simple point-in-polygon search.
Use a spatial index to limit the country polygon to search.
It becomes a bit more difficult if you have to consider enclaves.
You can use Bing Maps Api, it doesn't require displaying maps as far as I know,
http://dev.virtualearth.net/services/v1/geocodeservice/geocodeservice.asmx/ReverseGeocode?latitude=22.98&longitude=35.43637&key=[YOU_KEY]&culture=%22en-us%22&format=json
You can use the geonames.org "Country code / reverse geocoding" webservice, for example:
http://api.geonames.org/countryCode?lat=47.03&lng=10.2&username=demo
