There are lots of ways you lot tin post away purpose the Places library on a Google Map. Here are a few maps which purpose the Places library to render a piddling local knowledge.
You tin post away combine the Google Places library with the Google Maps API Directions Service to practise a directions finder which tin post away present you lot stops along your route. Roadli is a prissy event of a map which does precisely that.
Say you lot excogitation to get from San Francisco to Palo Alto in addition to fancy a pizza along the way. You but ask to operate into your starting in addition to ending locations in addition to 'pizza restaurant' in addition to Roadli volition display a suggested driving route with pizza restaurants along your journey.
The restaurants (or whatever form of concern you lot wishing to halt at) are too listed nether the map in addition to each eating seat includes the fourth dimension that you lot volition possess got to add together to your journeying to detour to this location.
Roadtrippers is a to a greater extent than polished version of this form of trip-planning map. The application allows users to instruct driving directions betwixt 2 locations inward the United States of America in addition to uncovering points of involvement along the route.
Using Roadtrippers it is possible to search for places of involvement in addition to skillful places to eat, gulp in addition to store along a planned drive. You tin post away search for points of involvement inward a large attain of categories, including 'attractions', 'accommodation', 'shopping', 'food in addition to drink' etc.
If you lot similar the hold off of 1 of the recommended points of involvement you lot tin post away easily add together it to your trip in addition to the application automatically adds the halt to the finished driving directions.
The Google Places library tin post away too hold upwardly used inward real-estate maps to help household hunters uncovering what form of facilities are available close a property. Trulia Local is a nifty event of Google Places existence used inward a real-estate map.
Trulia Local allows users to search for properties amongst local information, such equally schools, restaurants, banks in addition to stores. Select the 'amenities' choice from the carte du jour in addition to you lot tin post away uncovering restaurants, banks, groceries in addition to gas stations which are close your searched for property.
Have you lot e'er left a bar at 2 inward the morn inward desperate ask of a burger or pizza? What's Open is a handy piddling Google Map which allows you lot to search for nearby nutrient in addition to pizza establishments which are opened upwardly correct now.
What's Open uses the Google Places API to solely present you lot establishments but about you lot which are opened upwardly at the fourth dimension of your search. Share your location with the application in addition to all the pizza in addition to nutrient establishments all the same opened upwardly inward your surface area are displayed on a Google Map. You tin post away fifty-fifty click on each establishment's mark to uncovering out how many hours are left until it closes.
One interesting thought is to combine indoor Street Views with the Google Places Library inward social club to practise a bar in addition to eating seat review website. Here's a piddling demo of this thought which I knocked-up inward a few hours.
The Indoor Bars & Restaurants map uses the indoor Street Views of a position out of London bar in addition to restaurants in addition to and then overlays the name, address in addition to rating of the institution from the Google Places Library.
You tin post away too purpose the Google Places library with other information to help users uncovering nifty places to eat, gulp in addition to visit. This is what Taxi Stockholm has achieved with a year's worth of taxi trip information in addition to the Places library.
Taxi Trails has taken the information from all of Stockholm's GPS enabled cabs in addition to used the Google Maps API to practise a heat-map of taxi destinations inward the Swedish capital. Taxi Stockholm believe that this heat-map is non solely a beautiful information visualization but it tin post away too hold upwardly useful for tourists visiting the city.
If you lot are visiting Stockholm for the starting fourth dimension time you lot tin post away purpose the map to uncovering pop hot-spots inward the city. For example, if you lot are looking for somewhere to instruct on a Sabbatum night, you lot tin post away refine the map to present the close pop destinations for Stockholm cabs inward the even out at the weekend. You tin post away in addition to then zoom inward on a hot-spot on the map in addition to select the 'Explore this area' option. This volition in addition to then drib markers on the map showing you lot bars in addition to restaurants inward the surface area from the Places library.
