The geocoder finds addresses, not buildings or businesses (some, like the Empire State Building, _might_ be there, but it is certainly the exception, not the rule). If you know where they are, you can store them in a database and search that. If you don't know where they are and need to search for them, you can look into the local search API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/local.html It might meet your needs. > > Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
