Hi @KALYANA ALLAM

Just like what you did using the virtualearth API, refer to you provide code, change the request URL to google API format:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Set the latitude, longitude and change the API key to your actual google map API key. The response like this:

After getting the response json string, you can also use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject method to convert the json result to an object, and then get the formatted_address value.

More detail information about using google map API, see Reverse geocoding request and response (address lookup).
