This LightWave Client sample application illustrates how to use the Google Geocoding API. Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. The Geocoding API is a service that provides geocoding and reverse geocoding of addresses.1. For more information on the Google Geocoding API, see Google Maps Platform | Geocoding API
- NonStop C Compiler, if building the C sample.
- NonStop COBOL Compiler, if building the COBOL sample.
- An installed instance of LightWave Client version 1.0.4 or greater.
- A Google API Key enabled for the Geocoding API. See Get an API Key.
The following values must be configured in the SETUP TACL macro after installation of the sample:
- lwc-isv - The installation subvolume of your LightWave Client software.
- api-key - The Google API key.
The application must be built from source. The source files are present in the repository for convenient viewing. In addition, a PAK archive containing all of the source files is available for transfer to your NonStop system.
