Hello,
I’d like to allow the user to enter his home town in his profile (using Yii2-user) and get it’s coordinates (to later show how far appart users are).
I tried getting the geonames database, but it’s very slow for the user to select a city.
I was hoping to be able to query google maps api for a quick autocomplete input field or something similar (ideally free).
Any ideas ?
I’ve see there are google maps extensions, but I don’t need to display maps or anything, just to select the city and get it’s latitude and longitude to calculate distances.
Thanks !
Cheers
Bennn
