Hi
I'm using Google's Geocoder to find lat lng coordinates for a given address.
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode(
{
'address': address,
'region': 'uk'
}, function(results, status) {
if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
lat: results[0].geometry.location.lat(),
lng: results[0].geometry.location.lng()
});
address
variable is taken from an input field.
I want to search locations only in UK. I thought that specifying 'region': 'uk'
should be enough but it's not. When I type in "Boston" it founds Boston in US and I wanted the one in UK.
How to restrict Geocoder to return locations only from one country or maybe from a certain lat lng range?
Thanks
