Not familiar with places api so far good enough. Just playing with places autocomplete so far. Watched some videos, built some mvps. Any google maps gurus here? Is it good to go solution when I request autocomplete predictions and then query maps API for a selected prediction using placeId of a prediction to get coordinates? Or there is a shortcut that I haven't found yet in documentation?
