            google.maps.event.addListener(scope.gPlace, 'place_changed', function() {
                scope.$apply(function() {
                    model.$setViewValue(element.val());                
                });

</div>

when i am using this directive i getting error ReferenceError: google is not defined please give solution for that

@Dhaval4241 You need to add the Google script to your index.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key={YOUR_API_KEY}&libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>

google should now be avaiable in the window scope.

Helped me a lot. Thanks!

Can you help me out in binding places for specific 1 city only?

My current directive code is,

angular.module('testApp').directive('googlePlace', function () {
       return {
           require: 'ngModel',
           link: function (scope, element, attrs, model) {

               var southWest = new google.maps.LatLng(36.970298, -87.01993499999998);
               var northEast = new google.maps.LatLng(42.5083379, -91.51307889999998);

               var SyracruiseBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(southWest, northEast);

              var options = {
                   bounds: SyracruiseBounds,
                   types: ['address']
               };
               scope.gPlace = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(element[0], options);
               scope.gPlace.bindTo('bounds', map);
               scope.gPlace.setOptions({ strictBounds: true });

               google.maps.event.addListener(scope.gPlace, 'place_changed', function () {

                   var geoComponents = scope.gPlace.getPlace();

                   var latitude = geoComponents.geometry.location.lat();
                   var longitude = geoComponents.geometry.location.lng();
                   var addressComponents = geoComponents.address_components;

                   addressComponents = addressComponents.filter(function (component) {
                       switch (component.types[0].locality) {
                           case "Syracruse": // city
                               return true;
                           default:
                               return false;
                       }
                   }).map(function (obj) {
                       return obj.long_name;
                   });

                   addressComponents.push(latitude, longitude);

                   scope.$apply(function () {
                       scope.details = addressComponents; // array containing each location component
                       model.$setViewValue(element.val());
                   });
               });
          }
       };
   });

Hi, this helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing this. Just to get some more information on this, is it possible that using this directive, i can have two places in a form which has this directive defined? I tried attaching this directive to two input elements and it only works for one. Anything on this would be a great help. Thanks.
