Autocomplete using Google Places API? or Canada Post API?

Hello,

Has anyone had any luck to enable an autocomplete feature for a place or an address? I have a text entry column where a user enters their hotel name but I want to enable autocomplete to populate the rest of the information. Can Google Places API solve for this? Would love to learn more.

Thanks

You can check this discussion, which feature ideas from @Robert_Petitto .

Yeah but this requires the user to type the half cooked address and then the calculation takes place once it enters the system, but there isn’t an instant auto complete that shows the user they are selecting the right option?

Isn’t that exactly what Bob shows in his video?

You mean like below, yes?

I created that one by using Bob’s video as a guide.

Yes, I think I may have explained it wrong. My users particularly won’t be entering the address they would be entering the hotel name — which populates to the address.

For example: The Westin Paris Vendome

Okay. The Radar API does have a places search, but I’m not sure if it would work for your use case. You may need to experiment with it.
