In Maps API, is there a way to snap markers to the street? Normally, if you want to set a marker by address (not latlng), the marker is set somewhere inside the building. In my case, this is an issue if you have e.g. a large mall with several shops. I'd prefer to set a marker on the street.

I'm using Maps API v3.

Many thanks!

Use the directions service. Request directions to/from the same location, should be on the road closest to the location.
