Is it possible to have specific markers based on a user's search with Google Maps API? For example, I'd like to be able to create unique markers for different food cuisine types: american, asian, european, and indian. If the user types in american for example, can I add a special marker for this and if so, how can I achieve this?
Google has a great API that details how to do what you need pretty well. The Google Places API has some examples of how to search for places. The Maps API has an example on how to add custom marker symbols. Once you get the data back from the query posted, you can parse it to get details on the restaurant and associate an icon with that restaurants position
I think you are looking for the iOS SDK (I just looked at your tags):

I am no longer trying "to embed Google Maps so when I click on it opens Google Maps with 100 meters radius." I understand "Google Maps is not a part of the core services.
I am now trying to use a Work Around without Google Maps and am now asking for help with the "Work Around"....
I want to be able to use the method from this YouTube video to create the Search option another Google support team rep(Vienna) referred me to. In the video he did a search for shoes, shirts and dresses to find his customers. I want to do a search by zip and/or city and state to find mine...."Google Sheets - Search, QUERY function"===https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSGKO5gx974
I need help with this part as well with the Google Sheets function list. Which Google Sheet function or a combination of functions will allow me to do the 150-200 meters radius search within the "Google Sheets"? I am not tech savvy and need help to determine which ones can be used. Here are some of the functions that appear to be able to be used from what I think FLATTEN, FREQUENCY, LINEST, MAP, MMULT MDETERM , SUMX2PY2, DAVERAGE, DCOUNTA, DSTDEV, DVAR, DELTA, FILTER, SORT, SORTN, UNIQUE, QUERY, ISFORMULA, CELL, ect.... ===https://support.google.com/docs/table/25273?hl=en#query=
The Viennes also sent a link. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/routes_preferred/support#:~:text=Before%20you%20call%2C%20make%20sure,1%2D877%2D355%2D5787
As I was looking over the page, I came across the link to theMarketplace.
I was wondering which one of those databases could be used in the function to accomadate what I am trying to accomplish. Is it the Zip Code Tabulation Area, Geolocation API, CARTO, Roads, API, Routes API. Maps JavaScriprt API, ect....
With those three things listed above, I am sure something can come close to doing a radius/range search in Google Sheets.
If any, at least by the City and/or State search.
I am in need of a Developer, can you suggest one?
This might not looks like a real question, but I have a use-case for which I am not able to find the solutions. I have to show few point of interests like 'walmart','truck wash', 'rest-area' etc. My problem is Google Places map API doesn't give the filter option on the nearby searches and mapkit MKLocalSearch returns data beyound the bound region. My requirement is same like the Dat-trucker app. I am wondering, how they are showing "POI" on their maps. Seems like they are using MapKit, cause there is no attribution for google.Is there any alternative for Google Places API which can return the nearby places with filter functionality. I am attaching screenshot of the reference app.
You can give the Yep Fusion API a try. They provide nearby businesses which is what the Google Places API does.
I'm making an iOS app that needs to be able to find the most populated cities within a radius from a certain point, and to calculate a route that passes through a certain number of those cities, that satisfy a certain time constraint. I'm planning to use Google to give me polylines that I can put directly on an Apple Map in the Mapkit for Xcode. I've looked into the Google Maps SDK for iOS, and Google Places. Google also has a Directions API, and a Distance Matrix API. With so many API's, I'm slightly confused about which one I should use, and for what.
Additionally, do Google API's provide city population, or should I find that via another database?
You can use Google Maps URL Scheme to get directions for Google Maps iOS.
If you are ever confused about which API to use for Google Maps, you can use API picker.
There is no Google API that give city population, so you would need to find it with a another database.
I would like text search functionality, the thing is I want general places to be searchable as well, (I.E not just businesess), I'd like beaches, parks even cities...
Is it possible to do this with just places or will I need to use both places and maps?
There are parks in the Google Places data
example (search for "park")
It doesn't look like all of them are there.
I want to get twitter timeline in specific area like Korea or Japan. etc.
Is there twitter api for this work?
thanks.
The closest solution to what you're looking for is using the place operator in the search API.
You will first need to lookup the location's place id, then provide it within the search query.
