Question

This is the code I am working with:

I am using googles geocoding service on my site What I would like to do is geocode an address including autocomplete. I have this working, except that it shows a map.

What I would like to do is strip out the map component on the code and instead display the map on the results page, which conforms to googles T&C.

So my question is, with the code posted above, how can I remove the code I don’t need to remove the map functionality?

EDIT: This is how far I got before I got stuck!

You don’t need to load the map in order to use the geocoder. Just remove your map div and comment out the following line:

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("geomap"), options);

Please be aware the Google Maps Geocoding API is subject to the following limit:

“Note: the Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map;
geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For
complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of
