Format of the HTTP-Response

[schimanski]

I have started an HTML-Request to a webservice with the following code:

  HttpClient1.Execute(request, 1)
End Sub
...
Sub HttpClient1_ResponseSuccess (Response As HttpResponse, TaskId As Int)
  result=Response.GetString("UTF8")
  Msgbox(result,"")
End Sub

The solution is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
- <Response>
  <name>51.000000,6.000000</name> 
- <Status>
  <code>200</code> 
  <request>geocode</request> 
  </Status>
- <Placemark id="p1">
  <address>Pastor-Fischenich-Straße 19, 52538 Gangelt, Deutschland</address> 
- <AddressDetails Accuracy="8" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xsdschema:xAL:2.0">
- <Country>
  <CountryNameCode>DE</CountryNameCode> 
  <CountryName>Deutschland</CountryName> 
- <AdministrativeArea>
  <AdministrativeAreaName>Nordrhein-Westfalen</AdministrativeAreaName> 
- <SubAdministrativeArea>
  <SubAdministrativeAreaName>Heinsberg</SubAdministrativeAreaName> 
- <Locality>
  <LocalityName>Gangelt</LocalityName> 
- <DependentLocality>
  <DependentLocalityName>Gangelt</DependentLocalityName> 
- <Thoroughfare>
  <ThoroughfareName>Pastor-Fischenich-Straße 19</ThoroughfareName> 
  </Thoroughfare>
- <PostalCode>
  <PostalCodeNumber>52538</PostalCodeNumber> 
  </PostalCode>
  </DependentLocality>
  </Locality>
...
...

How can I read the response in a usefull format to use the informations?

Hi shimanski,
Pease spare me the googling and let me know the URL of that webservice.
Looks like it finds an address closest to the coordinates provided.
Thanks, Robert

Here it is:

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml&oe=utf-8&ll=51.00000,6.0000&key=asdad

I have tested it and it runs perfect. I will post my new Version of the OSM Tilemapviewer tomorrow or the coming weekend with this reverse geocoding function to show it.

It exists also a geocode service from OSM, but it is not so good as googles service. Have a look here:

Thanks a lot, shimanski,

Both provide fine details for locations even in Okinawa, while Google adds addresses in Japanese characters, so the latter might be the better choice.

Best success with your Tilemap Viewer!
