How To Find Street Name On Google Maps

[Jenn Smotherman]

GoogleMaps used to show street names, all the way down to minor back roads if you zoomed in enough. Now, those seem to be gone. Is is possible that I've accidentally changed a setting that displays street names, or is this some bewildering new "feature" of some sort?

Judging by the screenshot (the zoom slider), you have WebGL enabled. It renders the visuals slightly differently and might bring some artifacts. (On my computer, the loading/rendering process looks strange but the end result is always working fine.)

i want to get ONLY the road name in google maps not exact address, using either the geocoder or the directions service.i tried this results[0].address_components[1].long_name but it returns several different names (not necesserily wrong) on the same road.

A Find Place request takes a text input and returns a place. The inputcan be any kind of Places text data, such as a name, address, or phonenumber. The request must be a string. A Find Place request using non-string datasuch as a lat/lng coordinate or plus code generates an error.

The text string on which to search, for example: "restaurant" or "123 Main Street". This must be a place name, address, or category of establishments. Any other types of input can generate errors and are not guaranteed to return valid results. The Places API will return candidate matches based on this string and order the results based on their perceived relevance.

The type of input. This can be one of either textquery or phonenumber. Phone numbers must be in international format (prefixed by a plus sign ("+"), followed by the country code, then the phone number itself). See E.164 ITU recommendation for more information.

Use the fields parameter to specify a comma-separated list of place data types to return. For example: fields=formatted_address,name,geometry. Use a forward slash when specifying compound values. For example: opening_hours/open_now.

Fields are divided into three billing categories: Basic, Contact, and Atmosphere. Basic fields are billed at base rate, and incur no additional charges. Contact and Atmosphere fields are billed at a higher rate. See the pricing sheet for more information. Attributions, html_attributions, are always returned with every call, regardless of whether the field has been requested.

Prefer results in a specified area, by specifying either a radius plus lat/lng, or two lat/lng pairs representing the points of a rectangle. If this parameter is not specified, the API uses IP address biasing by default.

The following example shows a Find Place request for a phone number. Note that the international call prefix "+" has been encoded to %2B so that this request is a compliant URL. Left unencoded, the + prefix would be decoded to a space on the server, resulting in an invalid phone number lookup.

A Find Place response contains only the data types that were specified usingthe fields parameter, plushtml_attributions. The following example shows the response for aFind Place request for "Museum of Contemporary Art Australia", including theformatted_address, geometry, name,opening_hours, photos, rating fields.

When the service returns additional information about the request specification, there may be an additional info_messages field within the response object. This field is only returned for successful requests. It may not always be returned, and its content is subject to change.

Contains the hours of operation for the next seven days (including today). The time period starts at midnight on the date of the request and ends at 11:59 pm six days later. This field includes the special_days subfield of all hours, set for dates that have exceptional hours.

Contains a summary of the place. A summary is comprised of a textual overview, and also includes the language code for these if applicable. Summary text must be presented as-is and can not be modified or altered.

An array of photo objects, each containing a reference to an image. A request may return up to ten photos. More information about place photos and how you can use the images in your application can be found in the Place Photos documentation.

A textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place. To retrieve information about the place, pass this identifier in the place_id field of a Places API request. For more information about place IDs, see the place ID overview.

An encoded location reference, derived from latitude and longitude coordinates, that represents an area: 1/8000th of a degree by 1/8000th of a degree (about 14m x 14m at the equator) or smaller. Plus codes can be used as a replacement for street addresses in places where they do not exist (where buildings are not numbered or streets are not named). See Open Location Code and plus codes.

Contains an array of entries for the next seven days including information about secondary hours of a business. Secondary hours are different from a business's main hours. For example, a restaurant can specify drive through hours or delivery hours as its secondary hours. This field populates the type subfield, which draws from a predefined list of opening hours types (such as DRIVE_THROUGH, PICKUP, or TAKEOUT) based on the types of the place. This field includes the special_days subfield of all hours, set for dates that have exceptional hours.

Contains the URL of the official Google page for this place. This will be the Google-owned page that contains the best available information about the place. Applications must link to or embed this page on any screen that shows detailed results about the place to the user.

For establishment (types:["establishment", ...]) results only, the vicinity field contains a simplified address for the place, including the street name, street number, and locality, but not the province/state, postal code, or country.

An abbreviated textual name for the address component, if available. For example, an address component for the state of Alaska may have a long_name of "Alaska" and a short_name of "AK" using the 2-letter postal abbreviation.

May contain a pair of day and time objects describing when the place closes. If a place is always open, the close section will be missing from the response. Clients can rely on always-open being represented as an open period containing day with value 0 and time with value 0000, and no close.

True if there are exceptional hours for this day. If true, this means that there is at least one exception for this day. Exceptions cause different values to occur in the subfields of current_opening_hours and secondary_opening_hours such as periods, weekday_text, open_now. The exceptions apply to the hours, and the hours are used to generate the other fields.

True if a given period was truncated due to a seven-day cutoff, where the period starts before midnight on the date of the request and/or ends at or after midnight on the last day. This property indicates that the period for open or close can extend past this seven-day cutoff.

An encoded location reference, derived from latitude and longitude coordinates, that represents an area, 1/8000th of a degree by 1/8000th of a degree (about 14m x 14m at the equator) or smaller. Plus codes can be used as a replacement for street addresses in places where they do not exist (where buildings are not numbered or streets are not named).

An IETF language code indicating the language of the returned review.This field contains the main language tag only, and not the secondary tag indicating country or region. For example, all the English reviews are tagged as 'en', and not 'en-AU' or 'en-UK' and so on.This field is empty if there is only a rating with no review text.

An IETF language code indicating the original language of the review. If the review has been translated, then original_language != language.This field contains the main language tag only, and not the secondary tag indicating country or region. For example, all the English reviews are tagged as 'en', and not 'en-AU' or 'en-UK' and so on.This field is empty if there is only a rating with no review text.

The user's review. When reviewing a location with Google Places, text reviews are considered optional. Therefore, this field may be empty. Note that this field may include simple HTML markup. For example, the entity reference & may represent an ampersand character.

How do I contact and how do I change my street name to the correct one. When looking at my address in the map I found an option to submit mistakes and I did so, but it has been a few months and nothing is changed.As linked above, according to OpenStreetMap I live on Дунда(Dunda) street, which is incorrect. The street is called Дунав(Dunav) it's named after the second largest river in Europe - Danube river or Дунав(spelled Dunav in English letters) in Bulgarian.Here is a picture I took of the street sign as a proof:

Like most of the work on OSM, notes are usually handled by volunteers with knowledge of the area. Possibly someone is monitoring notes in your area and would get around to it (but after 4 months that seems unlikely.) If not, someone mapping in the area will find the note eventually, possibly years later.

If you're capable of making the change yourself, that's a much faster way of addressing the problem. (Note that even after you've fixed the name, it may take a while for delivery services to update their systems with the new data.)

And then take a look at some other notes in the area and see if you can help! Some of them may already be fixed and just need to be closed (maybe ?). Some of them will require local knowledge and possibly a survey to resolve (maybe or ?).
