Place Search Requests

[thindery]

I am wanting to search for establishments that have the name either "Spa" or "Salon".  I have found an example request here from this documentation(http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/):

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyAiFpFd85eMtfbvmVNEYuNds5TEF9FjIPI

the name=harbour section is where I would want to include multiple name options.  is this even possible?  is there a limit to the number of name search options I can include?

i didn't find a possibility of sending multiply names with the request.

from the doc.:
"name (optional) — A term to be matched against the names of Places. Resu..."

This is not currently possible. I'd suggest sending off two requests as a workaround.

2 is somehow ok but ... i need more :) 1-20+ and making 20 request on
one user click is NOT a good idea :)

How do you send off two requests and get both results to show up on the same map?

:D
Send 1 and add markers to the map :)
Send 2 and add markers to the map :)

you will need
1. var map = created map
2/ var markersOnMap = [] //array for markers on the map ;)

request(request_handler)

request_handler = function(e) {
var data = e.markers; //see the docs about places response

for(var i=0; i < data.length; i++) {
var newMarker = google.map....
newMarker.setMap(map);

markersOnMap.push(newMarker);
}

}

and that's it when you want to remove a marker from the map you first
find it in the markersOnMap array, set the map top null and remove it
from the array.
I'm lazy so :) check out the syntax for the request.
