The only times you will be doing this is when you are in a store and go on a barbecue. In my experience, you will do it in a restaurant. If you aren’t sure of your location, you won’t even be able to afford the services or your meal plan. This is fine.
One of the things I love about this extension is that you can write a quick, easy description of your location so it will be searchable. It is not something that is going to be a permanent feature, but it is something that will be helpful if you are running a business.
This is a small but very helpful feature. If you are in the market for something that is going to be visible to Google, this is a great one to help you find what you are looking for.
For example, I live in a small town in the south of Spain. And I am looking for a place to host a small conference. I use the Google Places API, and the Places API returns all the information about my location. I use this as it will be the most useful feature for me.
You’ll need to be logged into your Google account for this to work.
The Google Places API is also the service that provides the data that Google uses to generate your location. On top of that, the Places API also generates all the info for the most common places (hotels, restaurants, and so on).
The Places API is an open service, and I intend to use it for this conference. I have the API key from the Google API site and will use that to access the data. However, there is one major limitation to this API. It can only be used to locate locations, not to create or modify them. Google says that, “for this API, we’ve created a special category of location called’modification’.
So, what does this mean for us? Well, it means that we need to write a little bit of code to use the API and create and modify locations. We also need to create a new category for location that uses the API. But that’s a pretty small hurdle for a project that’s only a few months away.
You know what they say about the best laid plans. The best laid plans of mice and men are often dashed on the rocks.
