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 { Place, SearchNearbyRankPreference } = await google.maps.importLibrary('places') as google.maps.PlacesLibrary;
    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;

    // Restrict within the map viewport.
    let center = new google.maps.LatLng(52.369358, 4.889258);

    const request = {
        // required parameters
        fields: ['displayName', 'location', 'businessStatus'],
        locationRestriction: {
            center: center,
            radius: 500, 
        },
        // optional parameters
        includedPrimaryTypes: ['restaurant'],

    };

    //@ts-ignore
    const { places } = await Place.searchNearby(request);

    if (places.length) {
        console.log(places);

        const { LatLngBounds } = await google.maps.importLibrary("core") as google.maps.CoreLibrary;
        const bounds = new LatLngBounds();

        // Loop through and get all the results.
        places.forEach((place) => {
            const markerView = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
                map,

            bounds.extend(place.location as google.maps.LatLng);
            console.log(place);

    } else {
