What is meaning of parameter in URL Google Maps
android, google-maps
Solution
Parameter Description
`f=q` The f parameter, which controls the display of the Google Maps form, can be d (for the directions form or l for the local form). Without the f parameter, the default search form is displayed.
`hl=en` Google Maps supports a limited number of host languages, including en for English and fr for French.
`q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC` The value of the q parameter is treated as though it were entered via the query box at http://maps.google.com.
`sll=36.60585,-121.858956` sll contains the latitude and longitude for the center point around which a business search is performed.
`spn=0.006313,0.01133` spn is the approximate latitude/longitude span for the map.
`ie=UTF8` ie is the character encoding for the map.
`om=1` om determines whether to include an overview map. With `om=0` the overview map is closed.
`iwloc=addr` iwloc controls display options for the info window.
A good way to get a feel for how these parameters function is to change a parameter, add new ones, or drop ones in the sample URL and take a look at the resulting map. For instance, if you have only the q parameter, you would still get a map with some default behavior:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC
That is, the other parameters are not mandatory. Let’s play with the z parameter to adjust the zoom factor:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC&z=0
versus the following:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC&z=17
There is a comprehensive list of Google Maps parameters
- `mrad` lets you specify an additional destination address.
- `output=kml` gets a KML file to send to Google Earth.
- `layer=t` adds the traffic layer.
`mrt=kmlkmz` shows “user-created content.” For example, the following shows user-generated information about hotels around the White House:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=hotel&near=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC&sll=36.60585,-121.858956&sspn=0.006313,0.01133&ie=UTF8&z=16&om=1&iwloc=addr&mrt=kmlkmz
