    <p>I'm currently building a small commnunity where users can mark specific positions on a map.</p> <p>To save the Map points I need to save lat/lng to my database, but the user don't know lat/lng, so I have to use the (reverse) geocoding API.</p> <p>I've looked into geonames.org but the results of the Fulltext-Search is...well not so good. If i search for "München" for example I get about 5 Results with the same title/name.</p> <p>Testing the same City in Google Maps Api, the results are much better, so i want to use the Google Gecoder.</p> <p>The only problem left is, on the documentation page there's a limit mentioned - max 2500 requests/day.</p> <p>Well that sounds a lot, but if my Community gets bigger it's not that much...</p> <p>So my question is, is it possible to do a Geocode Request to Google Maps Api using the Guests IP-Address, so Google don't count it as request from my server?</p> <p>Currently "my way" to geocode something is to get a seperate PHP file through AJAX (jQuery) while passing the search string to it. The PHP file then get the results with "simplexml_load_file", and then give it back to the main document.</p> <p>If you look at this Geocoder: <a href="http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/</a></p> <p>You can see in the Footer this description: "This form uses JavaScript-On-Demand (JSON) code that causes your Web browser to be the one making the request (rather than gpsvisualizer.com), which means your queries don't count against my server's limit."</p>

    1. COYou should use the javascript api if you want to geocode from the client. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
