I’ve been searching all up and down google trying to find this as well as SO. I just want a simple url that will display 1) The person’s current location and 2) All search results in that area pertaining to the search string that I supply. So it would look something like this preferably.
http://maps.google.com/maps?location=currentlocation&radius=500&keyword=food
Where the keyword food is any search string that I would like placed in there. I need this to be a url that can be opened in both iPhone and Android (at the very least iPhone). I plan on opening it in a webview or the maps app.
Also yes I have tried plugging in long/lat in place of current location as well and still couldn’t get it working. And I know that I will probably end up having to get their long/lat in code and using that, I just want the area search portion to work. If you have any ideas on how to get what I’m trying to accomplish I would appreciate it.
This is the link I get from Google Maps when I search food.
It seems to break down like this:
Base URL
Search Term
Position
Span
Zoom Level
