That's indeed very useful, and template arguments can be added that will be replaced by these values. Thanks for the idea!
I totally agree. Right now, the Google API is connected but I feel like the data (coordinates) it pulls is too limited. For my mapping, I’m doing a few steps to make this full-featured:
This way, when I want to go to the place, I have a link that pulls up the Google Maps location with up-to-date information (hours, store website, pictures, etc). As you know, the coordinates do not always match the “true” location as seen Google Maps.
Ideally, the autocomplete would pull three pieces of info for me:
If we can customize what is pulled from the Google Maps API, that would be amazing. Not sure about the dollar cost of using the API frequently but the time saving feature of this is likely worth the cost (above the free monthly credits we already get from Google)!
Thank you
Are you guys using the Google Places API or the more generic Google default with an API key? I think it would make the most sense to do this specifically for Google Places, as it is most elaborate, and on the other hand a generic implementation for all the possible providers (OSM, Google Geolocation and Google Places) requires lots of duplicate work.
Hi @esm7 , I'm using the Google Places API ** sorry for the mix up. Getting the Places API key was recommended to get higher-quality results, so naturally I got one. There's a $200 monthly credit, and it costs about 1-5 cents per search. That's more than enough for my personal use.
Maybe just have a dedicated section in the plugin settings for "Users who have Google Places API" ? There's currently no plugins that are using the Places API except yours so hopefully you are able to implement this feature!
I'm using the default OSM geocoding, and echo the usefulness of this idea when creating a geolocation note. Note name as place name would be ideal; capturing the address in body or in YAML would be great, too.
hi,
would it be possible to implement more metadata when creating a new note with a geolocation eg. name of the street, number, city, name of the place (e.g. restaurant name) and stuff like that. also the name of the place as the filename?
thanks!
