I have a point on a map. The point belongs to a city which doesn’t have a detailed view with all the streets and buildings yet. But I hope Google will cover this city some time in the future. So I have to display map in a satellite view for now but it would be perfect if the map started to display in a standard view as soon as Google covers the city.
Is it possible to determine programmatically whether city has a detailed view with streets and buildings on Google Maps?
I solved my problem using reverse geocoding for a given point on a map. If result has a
ROOFTOPlocation_typeparameter, that means that the map contains a building at that point. Otherwise there are no buildings.
