Place Nearby Search

This example uses searchNearby to query for restaurants within a 500 meter radius of the center, and populates a map with markers to show the results. Read the documentation.

let map;

async function initMap() {
    const { Map, InfoWindow } = await google.maps.importLibrary('maps') as google.maps.MapsLibrary;

    let center = new google.maps.LatLng(52.369358, 4.889258);

    map = new Map(document.getElementById('map') as HTMLElement, {
        center: center,
        zoom: 11,
        mapId: 'DEMO_MAP_ID',
    });
    nearbySearch();
}

async function nearbySearch() {

    const { Place, SearchNearbyRankPreference } = await google.maps.importLibrary('places') as google.maps.PlacesLibrary;
    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;

    // Restrict within the map viewport.

Use the Place Overview component

The Place Overview component displays detailed information about millions of businesses, including opening hours, star reviews, and photos, plus directions and other actions in a premade UI in 5 sizes and formats. It is part of the Extended Component Library, from Google Maps Platform, a set of web components that helps developers build better maps and location features faster.

Use the Place Overview configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Overview component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
