I'm hitting an issue that is WELL discussed in these forums, but none of the recommendations seem to be working for me so I'm looking for some full javascript that works when saved as an html file.
The issue is I keep hitting the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT error when trying to geocode > 11 locations on a Google Map using the V3 APIs called by Javascript. I understand that there is a limit to the rate at which you can call the geocoder (as well as the daily limit on total volume), so I need to introduce a pause in between each result in the array.
Any help very much appreciated.
Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var geocoder;
var map;
var wait = false;
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.32, 0.5);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
codeAddress('KT16 8LA' + ', UK');
codeAddress('LS8 2LQ' + ', UK');
codeAddress('NE13 8AF' + ', UK');
codeAddress('KT12 2BE' + ', UK');
codeAddress('W1W 8AN' + ', UK');
codeAddress('EC3N 2LS' + ', UK');
codeAddress('BS9 3BH' + ', UK');
codeAddress('KA10 6LZ' + ', UK');
codeAddress('EC1V 9BW' + ', UK');

codeAddress('BA3 4BH' + ', UK');
codeAddress('AL3 8JP' + ', UK');
codeAddress('DE55 4QJ' + ', UK');
codeAddress('W6 0QT' + ', UK');

codeAddress('SW16 4DH' + ', UK');
codeAddress('WC2N 6DF' + ', UK');

codeAddress('S25 3QZ' + ', UK');
codeAddress('WC2H 7LR' + ', UK');
codeAddress('BH24 1DW' + ', UK');
codeAddress('EC2N 6AR' + ', UK');
codeAddress('W1U 2FA' + ', UK');
codeAddress('B60 3DX' + ', UK');
}
function codeAddress(vPostCode) {
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': "'" + vPostCode + "'"}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
}
</script>
<body style="margin:0px; padding:0px;" onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:90%"></div>
</body>
EDIT: This is what I've tried to do to get it to pause/wait in the relevant section, but it doesn't do anything:
function codeAddress(vPostCode) {
if (geocoder) {
while (wait) { /* Just wait. */ };
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': "'" + vPostCode + "'"}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
/* When geocoding "fails", see if it was because of over quota error: */
} else if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {
wait = true;
setTimeout("wait = true", 2000);
//alert("OQL: " + status);
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
}

Using "setInterval" & "clearInterval" fixes the problem:
function drawMarkers(map, markers) {
var _this = this,
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(),
geocode_filetrs;
_this.key = 0;
_this.interval = setInterval(function() {
_this.markerData = markers[_this.key];
geocoder.geocode({ address: _this.markerData.address }, yourCallback(_this.markerData));
_this.key++;
if ( ! markers[_this.key]) {
clearInterval(_this.interval);
}
}, 300);
}
You are using setTimeout wrong way. The (one of) function signature is setTimeout(callback, delay). So you can easily specify what code should be run after what delay.
var codeAddress = (function() {
var index = 0;
var delay = 100;
function GeocodeCallback(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, position: results[0].geometry.location, animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP });
console.log(results);
}
else alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
};
return function(vPostCode) {
if (geocoder) setTimeout(geocoder.geocode.bind(geocoder, { 'address': "'" + vPostCode + "'"}, GeocodeCallback), index*delay);
index++;
};
})();
This way, every codeAddress() call will result in geocoder.geocode() being called 100ms later after previous call.
I also added animation to marker so you will have a nice animation effect with markers being added to map one after another. I'm not sure what is the current google limit, so you may need to increase the value of delay variable.
Also, if you are each time geocoding the same addresses, you should instead save the results of geocode to your db and next time just use those (so you will save some traffic and your application will be a little bit quicker)
The general answer to this question is:
Don't geocode known locations every time you load your page. Geocode them off-line and use the resulting coordinates to display the markers on your page.
The limits exist for a reason.
If you can't geocode the locations off-line, see this page (Part 17 Geocoding multiple addresses) from Mike Williams' v2 tutorial which describes an approach, port that to the v3 API.
this post was made a while ago, but it provides an answer that did not solve the problem regarding reaching the limit of requests in an iteration for me, so I publish this, to help who else has not served.
My environment happened in Ionic 3.
Instead of making a "pause" in the iteration, I ocurred the idea of ??iterating with a timer, this timer has the particularity of executing the code that would go in the iteration, but will run every so often until it is reached the maximum count of the "Array" in which we want to iterate.
In other words, we will consult the Google API in a certain time so that it does not exceed the limit allowed in milliseconds.
// Code to start the timer
this.count= 0;
let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({
content: 'Buscando los mejores servicios...'
});
loading.present();
this.interval = setInterval(() => this.getDistancias(loading), 40);
// Function that runs the timer, that is, query Google API
getDistancias(loading){
if(this.count>= this.datos.length){
clearInterval(this.interval);
} else {
var sucursal = this.datos[this.count];
this.calcularDistancia(this.posicion, new LatLng(parseFloat(sucursal.position.latitude),parseFloat(sucursal.position.longitude)),sucursal.codigo).then(distancia => {
}).catch(error => {
console.log('error');
console.log(error);
});
}
this.count += 1;
}
calcularDistancia(miPosicion, markerPosicion, codigo){
return new Promise(async (resolve,reject) => {
var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService;
var distance;
var duration;
service.getDistanceMatrix({
origins: [miPosicion, 'salida'],
destinations: [markerPosicion, 'llegada'],
travelMode: 'DRIVING',
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
avoidHighways: false,
avoidTolls: false
}, function(response, status){
if (status == 'OK') {
var originList = response.originAddresses;
var destinationList = response.destinationAddresses;
try{
if(response != null && response != undefined){
distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.value;
duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text;
resolve(distance);
}
}catch(error){
console.log("ERROR GOOGLE");
console.log(status);
}
}
});
});
}
I hope this helps!
I'm sorry for my English, I hope it's not an inconvenience, I had to use the Google translator.
