Places API
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hello,
are there any plans on adding an option for the Places API next to the Geocoding API?
Searching by name (eg. "Howard University") was working until recently, but now it only works using the address (eg. "405 Howard Pl NW, Washington").
We also see a similar question asked on the forum: http://forum.gmap3.net/viewtopic.php?id=1417

Thank you for your answer and for all your work on Gmap.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Honestly, I'm currently really over-buzzy at work, so, I don't think I'll be able to have a look on this before a while
No problem. If I submit a pull request would you be willing to take a look / consider using it? If so, please give me your preference / suggestion on how to allow switching between APIs. Eg. would the apiType: 'geocoding' / 'places' be ok? Thank you again.
Yes sure, I'll be pleased to have a look on it, we can continue by email if you don't mind
Great! I will email you in the next few days with the changed code.
