Search address on Google Map API

Question

I rewrite the message for better understanding.

How can I search for address only using Google Map API?

If I will search for address I don't want Google to give a business with the same name of the address (I don't want to get business at all).

Answer 1

If you are using the AJAX Search API, there is an argument for Local Search which allows you to exclude business listings:

mrt? - This optional argument specifies which type of listing the user is interested in. Valid values include:

• blended - request KML, Local Business Listings, and Geocode results
• kmlonly - request KML and Geocode results
• localonly - request Local Business Listings and Geocode results

Answer 2

The geocoder appears to be working fine here. I am able to get correct latitude/longitude results for the following queries:

• Dimona
• Dimona, Israel
• Tel Aviv
• Tel Aviv, Israel
• Israel

Answer 3

Would the GoogleBar work for you? It won't return business results unless they're searched for. Here's an example.

UPDATE: If you ONLY want to search for addresses - the Geocoder is really your only option.

Answer 4

You'll need to take the latitude and longitude returned by the geocoder and display it as a marker on the map yourself. The geocoder API won't automatically generate a map for you.
