Geocoding Component Restrictions

This example creates a request to the geocoding service that restricts the results to a particular postal area within Sydney, Australia.

JavaScript

function initMap() {
  var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 8,
    center: { lat: -33.865, lng: 151.209 }
  });

  document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener("click", function() {
    geocodeAddress(geocoder, map);
  });
}

function geocodeAddress(geocoder, map) {
  geocoder.geocode(
    {
      componentRestrictions: {
        country: "AU",
        postalCode: "2000"
      }
    },
    function(results, status) {
      if (status === "OK") {
        map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
        new google.maps.Marker({
          map: map,
          position: results[0].geometry.location
        });
      } else {
        window.alert(
          "Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status
        );
      }
    }
  );
}
