Hi all, I'm currently working on a concept for a webiste, which allows users to select a place of interest from a Google map on my website.
I've done some work with Google maps in the past, and have been searching all morning on solutions for an AJAX style search box effectively copying the functionality of the main Google Maps. Basically, I don't really want the users to be adding their own location for a place of interest - when I know it already exists when you do a search on Google Maps. For example, a user wants to write some information about the Statue of Liberty - they enter the information, then search for it in the embedded google maps. As this place of interest is already listed with Google Places, I'd want to use that information rather than making the user add the location in themselves. Is there any way at all to access their AJAX search functionality to use it on my website? Alternatively, other than building my own db to store all possible locations (I'm worried how many locations I'd have to store - it could be endless!); are there any other options for this kind of thing?
