Place Autocomplete is a feature of the Places library in the Maps JavaScript API. You can use autocomplete to give your applications the type-ahead-search behavior of the Google Maps search field. The autocomplete service can match on full words and substrings, resolving place names, addresses, and plus codes. Applications can therefore send queries as the user types, to provide on-the-fly place predictions.
You can add autocomplete to your app or web page using either the Place Autocomplete Widget, or the Place Autocomplete Data API.
You can add autocomplete to your app or web page using the Place Autocomplete Widget.
Place Autocomplete WidgetThe Place Autocomplete Widget creates a text input field, supplies place predictions in a UI pick list, and returns place details in response to the user's selection. Use the Place Autocomplete Widget to embed a complete self-contained autocomplete user interface on your web page.
Place Autocomplete Data APIThe Place Autocomplete Data API lets you fetch place predictions programmatically, providing a finer degree of control than is possible with the Place Autocomplete Widget. Use the Place Autocomplete Data API if you want to build a more comprehensive custom user interface for Place Autocomplete.
