Any way to distinguish a building from a road in Google Maps?

So, if I have a common GPS Lat / Lng point, can I say yes, this moment is in the building, or is this moment located on the road on which the car can travel?

I don’t think you can determine if a point is a road or a building exclusively with Google Maps data. For this, I think you will need an additional data source.

However, you can determine if a point is expensive using the Snap point to street method .

Google Maps API v3 Haversine, ( ) .
