Hello every one ,
I am working on a school cab management project where i need to track the vehicle movement . A GPS tracking device is fixed on the vehicle it will be sending latitude and longitude readings frequently . Now my task is to get the location address/name with that reading since i need to develop it in windows application that is the problem .
I saw in net it was all based on web application which uses JSON concept . But JSON in windows ????
this are the link i saw:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding[^]
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/services#Geocoding[^]
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/[^]

Look at my article here on CP: Consuming a Json WebService from a C# or VB Application[^].
Do not forget that you ought to get a username for geonames webservice.

I believe you can call Google GeoCoding API from your windoes application too.

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=12.177759,076.372527&sensor=false
when i give this data to get location address it shows some other area
but in google map in search textbox if i give like this 12 17.7759,076 37.2527 it is showing accurate place if i pass the same parameter to above URL its output
is "No data available for the specified location " that is the customer error message now i want to give Latitude and longitude in this format 12 17.7759,076 37.2527 (Please see the space given in data it is also important) so now i need to send data in this format and get it but it is working fine in google map so guide me how to solve it
