Hi Johannes, As part of the Maps API, the Places library is covered by the Maps API Terms of Service, which does require it be used in conjunction with a map. This does not mean you must always pass in a map bounds when using Autocomplete, but it does mean that your app must use a map in some way, even if it's just a small thumbnail map of the Place selected by the user using Autocomplete.
With regards to why the establishments are not shown, in the absence of bounds to constrain the predictions made by Autocomplete, the geocode matches outrank the establishment matches, thus being returned in preference to establishments. Many thanks, Thor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
