This library wraps Google maps API.
You can easily query Google maps for Geocoding, Directions, Elevation, and Places.
NEW! Now you can easily show the results on a Static Google Map!
This Library is well documented and easy to use.
Code sample -
using GoogleMapsApi;
using GoogleMapsApi.Entities.Common;
using GoogleMapsApi.Entities.Directions.Request;
using GoogleMapsApi.Entities.Directions.Response;
using GoogleMapsApi.Entities.Geocoding.Request;
using GoogleMapsApi.Entities.Geocoding.Response;
using GoogleMapsApi.StaticMaps;
using GoogleMapsApi.StaticMaps.Entities;
//Static class use (Directions) (Can be made from static/instance class)
DirectionsRequest directionsRequest = new DirectionsRequest()
{
Origin = "NYC, 5th and 39",
Destination = "Philladephia, Chesnut and Wallnut",
};
DirectionsResponse directions = GoogleMaps.Directions.Query(directionsRequest);
Console.WriteLine(directions);
//Instance class use (Geocode) (Can be made from static/instance class)
GeocodingRequest geocodeRequest = new GeocodingRequest()
{
Address = "new york city",
};
var geocodingEngine = GoogleMaps.Geocode;
GeocodingResponse geocode = geocodingEngine.Query(geocodeRequest);
Console.WriteLine(geocode);
// Static maps API - get static map of with the path of the directions request
StaticMapsEngine staticMapGenerator = new StaticMapsEngine();
//Path from previos directions request
IEnumerable<Step> steps = directions.Routes.First().Legs.First().Steps;
// All start locations
IList<ILocationString> path = steps.Select(step => step.StartLocation).ToList<ILocationString>();
// also the end location of the last step
path.Add(steps.Last().EndLocation);
string url = staticMapGenerator.GenerateStaticMapURL(new StaticMapRequest(new Location(40.38742, -74.55366), 9, new ImageSize(800, 400))
{
Pathes = new List<GoogleMapsApi.StaticMaps.Entities.Path>(){ new GoogleMapsApi.StaticMaps.Entities.Path()
{
Style = new PathStyle()
{
Color = "red"
},
Locations = path
}}
});
Console.WriteLine("Map with path: " + url);
