Not with the Google Maps API, you need the Google Local Search API for that: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#LocalSearch (be sure to read its terms of use, it is different from the Google Maps API, but should be OK for what you are asking about) -- Larry > > This behavior is available via the normal Google Maps interface. > > Thanks, > Ralph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
