I am currently exploring the Google Places API for an Android application of mine. What I would basically like to do is to add a bunch of specific places to Google Places, then be able to retrieve them, and only them, through the API.

In other words, I don't want the search queries to return places that exist outside of my application, as they would not be relevant 99% of the time.

I don't see a simple way to do this, other than adding a specific keyword to the name of the place and then look for places that have that word--but that sounds a bit cheesy.

Any idea?

Thanks!

  • The Google Places API does not currently support this feature. If you believe this would be a useful feature you can submit a `Places API - Feature Request` here: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/entry?template=Places%20API%20-%20Feature%20Request – Chris Green Apr 17 '12 at 00:17

You could save the places that you add in a private database. Then provide these as the 'Universe'. You can't use Google places api.
