Would much appreciate a nudge in the right direction below re. a technical question wrt. LBS. For iPhone/mobile dev purposes....
My need is very basic, I think. But, I cannot find the answer for some reason. I want to get all places around a lat/long with a radius. I have done plenty of cursory research, so here is a very specific scenario... If you go to the following link (a random point on the Stanford campus) - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=37.422262,-122.169261+nearby&aq=&sll=37.422419,-122.168875&sspn=0.003868,0.00346&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=562+Mayfield+Ave,+Stanford,+California+94305&ll=37.422684,-122.168967&spn=0.003868,0.00346&z=18 You will see a number of buildings NAMED on the map. For example, Sigma Nu, Casa Italiana, Bob etc. How do I get access to those names within a radius around that lat/long? Is there a Fusion Table layer somewhere? After thorough search using Google Places, Yahoo, Geo, SimpleGeo, FWIX, etc I have NOT been able to get those names through any API. Here is the closest thing I could find -- Google Place Search API. It returns ìMayfield Avenueî and no other result. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=37.422262,-122.169261&radius=1&sensor=true&key=<...enter your own key> The lat/long is 37.422262,-122.169261 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
