Did you read the documentation for the places API? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/places.html#place_searches >From my read, that behavior makes perfect sense: + Place Search Requests + Place Searches are initiated with a call to the PlacesService's search() method. + This method takes a request with the following fields: + Either of: + bounds, which must be a google.maps.LatLngBounds object defining the rectangle in which to + search; or + a location and radius; the former takes a google.maps.LatLng object, and the radius takes a + simple integer, representing the circle's radius in meters. And for autocomplete: + Adding Autocomplete + The Autocomplete constructor takes two arguments: + An HTML input element of type text. This is the input field that the Autocomplete service will + monitor and attach its results to. + An options argument, which can contain: + types, which can be either establishment or geocode, representing businesses or addresses, + respectively. If types is not specified, both types are returned. + bounds is a google.maps.LatLng object specifying the area in which to search for Places. The + results are biased towards, but not restricted to, Places contained within these bounds. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
