Hi
I have retrieved a few tweets using twitter search api and now I want to map them on google map using the user's locations,for which i want the geo locations of each tweet that I retrieve. But when i am retrieving the tweets using the search API ,I see that the geo tags ( in the json output / atom output )are usually null .
I know that the geo tag gives us the location of the user.

Is there any other way to get the geo location of the twitter ?

The idea i have in mind is to filter the tweets based on the condition that geotag is not equal to null ,so that i get only those tweets which have a geoloctaion in them.
So is this possible?

Hi,

I used some google maps api for dealer locations in the past. Do you know this kind of functions?
