Re: Google Map interface question


To get the long and lat, you have to use javascript, and the Google Maps API -- so you mightn't get much help on that from this CakePHP list.

Once your javascript has the values in the user's browser, you'll need to post them back to  your cake app somehow; probably just dumping the numbers into form fields for the user to submit would be fine.

From memory Google have a web service for getting the longitude and latitude for a street address; have you thought about using that?

Cheers

So, I want to use Google maps on my project which makes use of a
Location model. In that model there is a longitude and latitude value.
 Most of the tutorials I have looked at talk about how to place
markers on your map. What I want to do is use the map to allow people
to navigate to the location they are editing and set the longitude and
latitude based on the current center of the map giving an easy
interface for entering in such values. So it leads me to this
question: How do I get the long/lat values from the google map and
save those values to my database? Thanks.
