Does Google offer its Maps API to the public?
-
I'm talking about the real Google Maps API. For example, when you type "starbucks market st" in Google Maps, it will return results that match that query. If you do that in Google's V3 Javascript API (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/), it returns nothing. The difference between the Google Maps autocomplete and the V3 javascript API is that the former is much more versatile. You can type in a place name or an address, or both, or parts of both. And it'll return lots of results (vs. only one with the V3 API). I want the Google Maps autocomplete as the returned response. Does Google have this?

Answer:
The Autocomplete behaviour you see powering for the search field on Google Maps is available in the Google Maps API too. For more details see: http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/09/google-places-autocomplete-now-includes.html.

You will need to create your own autocomplete suggestions box, using the Google Web Search API: http://code.google.com/apis/websearch/ This API is deprecated, so you might want to start with the newer Custom Search API: http://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/overview.html
