In this blog post, you will learn how to create google maps draggable marker using Google Maps Javascript API v3, and when you drag the marker position then get coordinates (latitude and longitude) of that location where you place the marker.
To allow users to drag a marker to a different location on the map, set the draggable attribute to true in the marker options.
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
// Place a draggable marker on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
draggable:true,
title:"Drag me!"
});

As the world is gearing towards more automation and AI, the need for quantum computing has also grown exponentially. Quantum computing lies at the intersection of quantum physics and high-end computer technology, and in more than one way, hold the key to our AI-driven future.
Quantum computing requires state-of-the-art tools to perform high-end computing. This is where TPUs come in handy. TPUs or Tensor Processing Units are custom-built ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) to execute machine learning tasks efficiently. TPUs are specific hardware developed by Google for neural network machine learning, specially customised to Google’s Machine Learning software, Tensorflow.
The liquid-cooled Tensor Processing units, built to slot into server racks, can deliver up to 100 petaflops of compute. It powers Google products like Google Search, Gmail, Google Photos and Google Cloud AI APIs.

The lawsuit, filed against Google by Arizona’s Attorney General, alleges that the tech giant uses “deceptive and unfair conduct” to obtain users’ location data.
Google has been hit by a lawsuit alleging that it violates user privacy by collecting location data via various means – and claiming that Google makes it nearly “impossible” for users to opt out of such data tracking.
The lawsuit, filed by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, alleges that Google uses “deceptive and unfair conduct” to obtain Android users’ location data via various applications, services and technologies, which is then used for advertising purposes. The alleged data collection would violate the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, a set of laws that give protections to consumers in various transactions related to the sale or advertisement of merchandise.
“Google has engaged in these deceptive and unfair acts and practices with the purpose of enhancing its ability to collect and profit from user-location information,” according to the 50-page complaint, which was filed Wednesday in the Maricopa County Superior Court. “And profited it has, to the tune of over $134 billion in advertising revenue in 2019 alone. On information and belief, hundreds of millions of dollars of these advertising revenues were generated from ads presented to millions of users in the State of Arizona.”
Public consternation around Google’s data-collection policies was first set off by a 2018 Associated Press report, which claimed that Google services that are prevalent on both Android and iOS phones all store location data. The report alleged that Google would track users’ data even when they opt out of Google’s Location History feature, which collects data in order to personalize Google Maps.
This most recent lawsuit claims that Google’s alleged deceptive tactics extend beyond the issues with Location History highlighted by AP’s report. The redacted, public complaint claims that Google uses other means to bring in location data – including via Wi-Fi scanning and connectivity, diagnostic data and information from Google apps in “recent versions of Android.” This makes it impractical – and even impossible – for users to opt out of location tracking, the lawsuit alleges.
“Given the lucrative nature of Google’s advertising business, the company goes to great lengths to collect users’ location, including through presenting users with a misleading mess of settings, some of which seemingly have nothing to do with the collection of location information,” said the lawsuit.
According to Brnovich, these claims are based on both testimony from Google employees “given under oath” and from internal documents that were obtained from Google over the course of a nearly two-year investigation.
Google, for its part, argued against the claims and told Threatpost that it looks forward “to setting the record straight.”

Location tracking and monitoring have seen a surge in modern application development with various services such as Uber heavily relying on location services that require consistency and accuracy. With businesses and corporations requiring location information and monitoring of their various assets, delivering comprehensive location solutions has been a tricky science for many developers.
Identifying the growing demand for a convenient location providing service Google introduced the Fused Location Provider API. This article will focus on using the API to track a user’s real-time location using an android application and through the example demonstrate the beauty of the API.
The API focuses on providing location information using a combination of a device’s GPS, Wi-Fi and internal sensors. The main selling point is that it decides in what combination to use these three resources based on the request parameters provided. In this context managing these resources is abstracted from the developer.
A simple use case to demonstrate the capacity of the API is tracking the movement of an individual walking towards a building, entering it and then leaving. In this scenario when the person is outdoors, the GPS service will function well. However, as he enters the building the GPS signal may drop. The Fused Location Provider handles the above scenario by tracking the location outdoors via GPS and when the GPS signal drops within the building, it utilizes Wi-Fi. During the switching process from GPS to Wi-Fi, to provide a smoother transition, the device’s internal sensors are used to predict the movement. In this manner, the management of available resources to provide reliable location services in a battery efficient manner is the true power of the API.
Integrating the API into your android application is a simple process. In this example, we will walk through the necessary steps required to build a simple location tracking application.
First, create an android project in Android Studio and within the application’s build.gradle file, ensure the following dependency is present:
dependencies{
implementation ‘com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.8.0’
}
Secondly, within the Manifest file you must provide either the Fine or Coarse location permission by adding the below snippet:
<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”
/>
<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION”
/>
Now, create instances of FusedLocationProviderClient, **LocationRequest**and **LocationCallBack**in your activity.
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
private LocationCallback locationCallback;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
}
}
