is there any way i could get all the landmark name within some few kilometers of given area. say for example there is a town called Bhatkal (5km in radius), which comes in Karnataka, India. As Bhatkal is just a small town google maps does not store all the geographical data, hence the feasible solution would be to store the nearest landmark’s lat,long as listed in Google maps, for that i need to fetch all landmarks name within few kilometer radius, is there any Google Maps Geocoding API that support this? if not is there any alternative?
thank you
