I was wondering if we could get nearby location by giving the radius parameter around a fixed point. Say i want to get nearby locations only in 10km diameter of a particular location.
Can i do this using google api? or
i have to use some thing else for this?

“Certain parameters are required to initiate a Place Search request. As is standard in URLs, all parameters are separated using the ampersand (&) character. The list of parameters and their possible values are enumerated below.
–location (required) — The latitude/longitude around which to retrieve Place information. This must be provided as a google.maps.LatLng object.
–radius (required) — The distance (in meters) within which to return Place results. The recommended best practice is to set radius based on the accuracy of the location signal as given by the location sensor. Note that setting a radius biases results to the indicated area, but may not fully restrict results to the specified area.
