Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to do address lookups using the Geocoder service. This is very useful
for finding the right addresses and the right locations for addresses. You also looked at different ways
of determining the location of the user. This is something increasingly important because we’re
moving toward a context-driven mobile web.
This is also the end of the last chapter of the book. I hope that you’ve enjoyed the book and found it
useful. I also hope that you’re now able to build your own mapping solutions with the Google Maps API.
And remember anything is possible; only your own imagination sets the limit.
