view the city closest to the one selected within 10km.

As I point out the nearest towns of miles?

Ah okay, that is not what the autocomplete example does. It shows
things spelled a bit like the text entered so far, doesn't relate to
distance from any starting point.

If you want to find things within a distance of some point, you could
do something like

It 'can be done using only the API V3?

No.
The Google Places API
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/
is the nearest tool for finding 'things within a radius', but its more
about businesses and facilities than 'cities'.

This old post might help
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/browse_thread/thread/744e480ad9a25b33/db2c02e3bf6fe816

If what you really want to know is 'where is this point', have you
looked at reverse geocoding?
