I iCAB Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 20, 2014 #1 Hi All Looking for the code to show and embed Google maps on a form with following functionality: 1. User can type an address; while typing, a drop down will get displayed showing possible matches ( same if you are typing an address on Google maps ); after an address is selected show address on map 2. a second control similar to the first one. After the user completes the typing, I want to show the route between the 2 addresses and get the distance between the 2 locations 3. an option to view nearby places ( and display in a list ) 4. option to search by category for nearby places. Please give me reasonable estimate, so we can initiate talks Thanks

I am not trying to a load a web page , but instead I just need an "Address control" that works with google maps somehow exactly similar to the address control you use google maps.

I iCAB Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 21, 2014 #7 No URL, I just want to type the address. To see exactly what I am looking for. go to : https://www.google.ca/maps/preview and start typing an address in the text box and watch the dropdowm that shows up. I want to add to a regular form ( not a web view ), a control that does exactly that.. Thanks again

Beja Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 22, 2014 #8 May be I understand what you are saying.. but I can only give you some hits to research. Try to find out if Gmaps APIs accept SQL statements such as "Like" I am sure they do for themselves because it is obvious in their search box, but releasing this functionality I don't know.. go ahead and do some search. Good luck!
