The aroundLatLngViaIP parameter automatically determines a user’s geographic location using their IP address and uses it as the center for geo-based search. This provides location-aware results without requiring explicit coordinates. For more information, or if you want to provide explicit coordinates, see aroundLatLng. To learn more, see Geo location.

Usage

  • For server-side requests, set the X-Forwarded-For header with the user’s IP address. Otherwise, every search will be around the location of your server.
  • You can adjust precision using aroundPrecision, but accuracy varies—especially when IP addresses are mapped to large areas.
  • This parameter is ignored if insideBoundingBox or insidePolygon is used.
