This demonstrates sending a geocoding request for "Toledo" and receiving a result in Spain. The result returned depends on the region of the map. See also the demo for the US region.
Read the documentation.
TypeScript
function initMap(): void { const map = new google.maps.Map( document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement, { zoom: 8, } ); const geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder .geocode({ address: "Toledo" }) .then((response) => { const position = response.results[0].geometry.location; map.setCenter(position); new google.maps.Marker({ map, position, }); }) .catch((e) => window.alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + e) ); } declare global { interface Window { initMap: () => void; } } window.initMap = initMap;
JavaScript
function initMap() { const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), { zoom: 8, }); const geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder .geocode({ address: "Toledo" }) .then((response) => { const position = response.results[0].geometry.location; map.setCenter(position); new google.maps.Marker({ map, position, }); }) .catch((e) => window.alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + e), ); } window.initMap = initMap;
CSS
/* * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element * that contains the map. */ #map { height: 100%; } /* * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */ html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
