automating 'Nearby Locations' on a map

[ACI]

I was hoping someone could tell me if google maps has built "nearby
locations" into the MAPS API? I am currently using google maps on my
webpage but I would like to show various businesses and attractions
that are nearby without it pulling from my database. I know I can
find nearby location myself and store the lat-long along with any
other pertinent information in my database and have google maps it but
I was looking for a more automated solution. Any suggestions would
really be appreciated.

You could have a look and see if anyone has thought of this before

Thank-you for the advice. I should have searched the group
discussions first. I had been looking in google code search for so
long I almost thought it was hopeless. This was my last attempt.
Thank-you for answering a newbies question, next time I will check
here first!

If anyone looks at this post I found the answer lies with google's
local search tool. The information can be viewed here.
