Google Contacts on Google Map – Technology Times



Good news to all Google map users, now you can see all of your Google Contacts on a Google Map.  So create a map of your Google Contacts virtually.  Many a time one you have to store postal addresses and other addresses manually or electronically but they are not synchronized online with some location finder web applications.  The time has changed now; you can simply save all of your Google Contacts and represent them graphically on Google Earth worldwide.  So here we have discussed the different steps you need to follow to upload your Google Contacts to the Google Earth.

Google Contacts on Google Map

1.       Firstly you have to make a duplicate copy of your Google Sheet into your Google Docs account.

2.      Now form Google Contacts menu choose initialize and permit the script to access Google Contacts.

3.      Select Generate KML and automatically the script would send a KML file to your own email account.

4.      Open your mailbox and download KML file to your machine/desktop.  Now you have options, you can pin/mark to read full address and name of the contact and double-click the file you downloaded earlier to make it directly open it inside Google Earth.

5.      Other way is simply upload the KML file to the web and copy-paste the address/URL of the KML file you have just uploaded into Google Maps search box.

What happens at the back-end side during address resolution process?

Whenever the script is loaded contain your pre-saved Google Contacts, it simply decodes or maps the latitude and longitudes of the postal code you have saved earlier and we know that Google Maps/Google Earth entirely works on latitude and longitude.  So it’s quite simple job to find the postal address which is the actual address of your Google contact and hence you get a virtual image on Google earth/Map.  Due to security issues one ip address is allowed 2,500 requests per day.
