Place Nearby Search

This example uses searchNearby to query for restaurants within a 500 meter radius of the center, and populates a map with markers to show the results. Read the documentation.

TypeScript

let map;

async function initMap() {
    const { Map, InfoWindow } = await google.maps.importLibrary('maps') as google.maps.MapsLibrary;

    let center = new google.maps.LatLng(52.369358, 4.889258);

    map = new Map(document.getElementById('map') as HTMLElement, {
        center: center,
        zoom: 11,
        mapId: 'DEMO_MAP_ID',
        mapTypeControl: false,
    });
    nearbySearch();
}

async function nearbySearch() {
    //@ts-ignore

    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;

    // Restrict within the map viewport.
