Search on the internet for examples for GeoCoding.
But this is what I suggest:
You can make a use of
Google Places API, which allows you to search location within some radius by specifying thetypewhich is what you are looking.http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceSearchRequests
All you have to do is to parse the output of the URL as it is specified, using
JSON(parse the latitude and longitude and the name of the building) orXML. and show the overlays on the map.http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/supported_types.html
Here is the list of types you can search for.
