Map Services -- Geocoding

Guidebee Map API also provides methods to query address, get directions, local search, IP search, and search by latitude and longitude etc

Address query or Geocoding, is to find an address’s latitude and longitude according to its name (like James St, Perth).

The following examples show how to use the Geocoding services with ServerMap, it querys for 7 Fairway, Crawley, Australia. And then display the map in that area.

public class MapGeocodingMIDP extends MapDemoMIDP implements CommandListener,         IGeocodingListener {     private Command mapFindAddressCommand = new Command("Find Address", Command.OK, 1);     public void startApp() {         init();         canvas.addCommand(mapFindAddressCommand);         map.setGeocodingListener(this);         canvas.setCommandListener(this);         GeoLatLng center = new GeoLatLng(-31.948275, 115.857562);         map.setCenter(center, 13, MapType.MICROSOFTMAP);        Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(canvas);     }     public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {         if (c == mapFindAddressCommand) {             String name = "7 Fairway, Crawley, Australia";            map.getLocations(name);        }     }     public void done(String query, MapPoint[] result) {         if (result != null) {             map.panTo(result[0].getPoint());         }     } }

All results returned by map service asynchronously.  

Before call RasterMap.getLocation (address), a callback (listener) can be set with RasterMap.setGeocodingListener; the callback will be called when service returns.

The listener methods is defined as

public void done(String query,MapPoint[] result).

If the search has return , the result is the array of all returned result. the examples move the map to the first address found.
