I want the blackberry code to retrieve a place name based on latitude and longitude.
Get it from Google maps api.
Example:

I have found locationtagger as a python based tool which can help me extract locations from a piece of text. My problem is the locations to be extracted are expected to be from a specific location (and different regions / countries have similarly named locations). Is it possible to use locationtagger to identify and extract locations from a specific region / country?
locationtagger library can help to find the countries where the extracted cities, regions belong to.
If you look for a city, locationtagger library has entity "country_cities" which results in a directory structure like:
{'country': ['city', 'city'], 'country': ['city', 'city']}.
You can extract the country key with a value from this directory so you will have only the cities of the country you like.
There is also similar entity for regions "country_regions".
For examples please look into the documentation.
I am new to Qliksense and I am practicing app (dashboard) development concepts on MS SQL Server's Adventureworks database. In one specific table, the Address table, there is a column which has Spatial Location data. The data is in the following format, Dallas - 0xE6100000010C10A810D1886240403A0F0653663158C0. The data is of the geography datatype and is said to represent latitude and longitude information of given address. I am trying to create a map and a GeoKey as a dimension, but GeoMakePoint() function takes latitude and longitude as a tuple and not in this format. Please help.
I figured out the solution myself. Just use the method [Columnname].Lat and [Columnname].Long on the geography datatype to extract the Latitude and Longitude values from column values. Store these values in separate columns during data load and use them as GeoKey.
My aim is to find venues in specific city.
For this purpose i am using /v2/venues/suggestcompletion endpoint. So for example next request https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/suggestcompletion/?limit=10&query=McDonald&near=Napa,%20CA,%20United%20States&client_id=xxx&client_secret=yyy&v=20161118&locale=en returns venues not only in Napa, but also in Fairfield, Vallejo etc. Result for this query.
Ok, as far as I know what city I need I can filter result by city on my side. But in this approach I received next problem. Next query https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/suggestcompletion/?limit=10&query=Diviera%20Drive&near=New%20York,%20NY,%20United%20States&client_id=xxx&client_secret=yyy&v=20161118&locale=en returns venue in city labeled Brooklyn. Result for this Obviously New York string and Brooklyn does not match. Maybe somehow I can retrieve main city (New York) next to borough (Brooklyn) so I can filter it on my side properly
So my question is: how can I receives venues only in specified city.
The near parameter you're using is not a filter - it's a coarse geocoder that's used to generate a latitude/longitude to search near.
The search documentation does not show a way to limit results to a city name. If you only want to show results in a certain city you'd have to do that filtering yourself. Since the city name may be missing or incorrect (sometimes city boundaries are fuzzy) a more precise way could be filter based on the lat/lng coordinate.
Is it possible to assign an array of GPS locations to an entity ?
Say for an example, my entity is a Wine. And I want to link the GPS locations of the bars a particular Wine is sold.
Then during search ,I want to retrieve the Wine products sold in a given perimeter
(of course I have other search functionalities to search Wines by name, year,type..etc. I have already implemented these.Now I want to add this GPS based search).
[Update]
Apologize, I found the answer at :
Mapping for array of geo_point fields in elastic
I have an excel table that has about couple of thousand business address, broken down component by component - street number, street name, suburb, city and postcode.
As I'm developing an android app that makes use of this data, I need to append longitude and latitude to this data & was wondering if I can do this within Excel itself?
Many thanks
