Region Code Biasing (US)

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

This demonstrates sending a geocoding request for "Toledo" and receiving a result in the US. The result returned depends on the region of the map. See also the demo for the ES 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;

Note: Read the guide on using TypeScript and Google Maps. 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;

Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet. 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;
}

HTML

  <head>
    <title>Geocoding Region - US</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />
    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>
