I have a field called ADDRESS on my webpage. I also have a field called COORDINATES on my webpage. Can someone give me specific JQUERY or JAVASCRIPT code to take the address in ADDRESS and have lattitude and longitude coordinates show up in COORDINATES field.

EXAMPLE

ADDRESS - 1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073

COORDINATES - 40.814209 / -74.073690

Please give a specific example. I know i might need an API key or something. I tried looking at google maps API documentation, but it was a bit confusing. Thank You.

• javascript
• jquery
• google-maps
• google-maps-api-3

• 1 This is called reverse geocoding and the google maps geocode API has all the information you need to do this. Finding examples is not hard – charlietfl Commented Jan 12, 2016 at 6:11

Try this!

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google./maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var address = jQuery('#address').val();

geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {

if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
    var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
    var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
    jQuery('#coordinates').val(latitude+', '+longitude);
    } 
}); 
</script>
