I was using geocode service of Google Maps Version 2 the Javascript API.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/reference
However google decided not to support his anymore.
Note: The Google Maps JavaScript API Version 2 has been officially
deprecated as of May 19, 2010. The V2 API will continue to work until
May 19, 2013. We encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of
the Maps JavaScript API.
So how can I geocode in google maps version 3 javascript api with zoom?
To zoom the map to best show the results of the geocoding operation, you can use the google.maps.Map fitBounds method with the viewport property of the result:
function codeAddress() {
var address = document.getElementById("address").value;
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
if (results[0].geometry.viewport)
map.fitBounds(results[0].geometry.viewport);
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
code snippet:
var geocoder, map, marker;
function codeAddress() {
var address = document.getElementById("address").value;
geocoder.geocode({
'address': address
}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
if (marker && marker.setMap) marker.setMap(null);
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
if (results[0].geometry.viewport)
map.fitBounds(results[0].geometry.viewport);
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
google.maps.event.addDomListener(document.getElementById('btn'), 'click', codeAddress);
codeAddress();
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);

{
