Displaying petrol stations on google map

[Sankar T]

Hello All,

I wanted to display petrol pumps in a particular area using google maps api v3 and also I wanted to download that location data into an excel spread sheet/csv file. Can anyone point me to right direction to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello All,

An update for my post,

I tried with places library, which will take location, radius & types (list of places types to be searched for) & this will generate the output as json/xml string till this its fine.

But I have the below concerns:

1. This library doesn't have any type parameter for petrol pump/stations (mayb gas_station is ok to use),
2. This is giving max of 20 results per request,
3. Range is restricted to 50 KMS. and
4. Not generating any results in INDIA even for major types.

But the I need more than 20 results, radius range is ok & need the type for petrol pump/station.

Could any one help me on this?

Thanks
Sankar.

That is the restriction.

I suspect you will need to acquire your own database from a third
party or use a third party API, particularly if you want to use the
free google maps API.

Thanks for the reply Larry,

Will it be possible with licensed version and what about the places in INDIA? I am able to see the places on google maps when I type in google maps search but not able to get them using places library search.

Thanks
