I am writing an iPhone app, basically a flyer for a handful of stores. If the user likes an item advertised for store X, I'm giving them the option to see (on a map) where the closest store X is to them.
It's like the 'Maps' app on the iPhone: I can type in "Starbucks" (say), and pins will drop showing the stores closest to where I am. How can I recreate that functionality in my app? It is unclear to me which API I could use, and even if it is available to me. The alternative would be to maintain a database (long & lat) of known locations of these stores. (And why would I want to do that, when it is clear that Google is already doing it?) Thanks, I hope this question is not too general. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
