What is the GeoCoding? With GeoCoding we can look for a site (for example "the Sales, Madrid", "Gibraltar" or "Polytechnical University of Valencia") and GoogleMaps.Subgurim.NET will bring one to that selected location... an example is worth more than a thousand words!
To use GeoCoding, we'll use the class with that same name:
GeoCoding. The class
GeoCoding has 5 properties with which we can customize the result:
- Show: a enumerator with which to choose the event that will take place when searching for a location. It is made up of three elements:
- infowindow: shows an infoWindow with the complete direction in text. It's the default.
- icon: simply shows an icon in the searched location.
- mapBlowUp: shows a mapBlowUp, which is, as you know, a zoomed in place in a window.
- openedOnLoad: applicable if we chose to show an infoWindow or a mapBlowUp. It indicates if the window will be opened by default or if we will have to press an icon to open it. By default it is true.
- errorText: the message that will appear in an alert window if it can't find what it's looking for. It's default value is ":(".
- infoText: the previous text in the text box. HTML can be included. By default it is "GeoCode".
- buttonText: the text of the button. by default "OK".
- viewport: using GLatLngBounds sets the relevant area where we want to see the results.
- baseCountryCode: setting the country code we will see the results near it.
- showErrorCode: if activated the code error will be shown if an error happens. Here is the code error explanation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GGeoStatusCode
