Would it be possible to have Google Maps list a series of categorized places instead?
For example, I want a list of restaurants near a certain defined place. The parameters of this place consists out of a Country and a zipcode, or a Country, a town and address.
Like the text on left side of the Google Maps interface. In this case, restaurants in the vicinity of Hoogeveen, Netherlands.

Yes? I just read it. So how can it be done?
Just a list in text, and without an actual map.

Did you read the rest of the page at all? Which part are you having
difficulty with?

Yes I read the whole page, and I have to create an URL for a JSON /
XML response. But how do I translate that into flat html in a div?
XML response. But how do I translate that into flat html in a div?

Presuming you are trying to do this client-side (you haven't said),

you won't be able to use XML. That narrows it down to "how do I parse
and display JSON" which isn't really maps related. The reference page
for the Places API does offer this resource for initial help with that
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/webservices/index.html#ParsingJSON
here's more general stuff

The request will come from a homepage with a few variables in a
database. The Town, Country, Zipcode will be in the request url. It
will be handled in PHP, but I am really not that good with javascript.
Thanks for the swift replies though... I will have a look at the
mentioned pages and hope it will be enough to get me on my way :)

As I suspected, I do not understand all the code displayed on those
pages. I expect JSON would be the way to go for me, but do not know
exactly how to get it all working. I know a small bit about JQuery,
maybe I can get some information there, but I also do not get the
whole setup with the Google Maps API key, it's a complete maze...
Maybe the Google people know exactly where to go, but for me it's all
way to technical. :/
