Find location in radius


I have a gps coordinate, I wish to get a list of adresses inside it's certain radius. From these adresses I wish to select the ones that are companies and contain specific sector name. (clothing, finance, metallurgy, etc..), I thought the returned api object may contain the necessary information to make the distinction. Is there a free api that has the necessary functions to bring me closer to my goal ? (like google maps, google places, yahoo placefinder, and similar applications.)

Note: I use the MVEL language, I guess it has access to some Java functions so you can consider me writing Java, but any information considering the MVEL language is also appreciated.

Note2: Radius is not an essential requisite, it would be enough if I found the adresses in a certain district. The classification however, is necessary.


Solution

  • I think you can take a look into : GoogleMapServicesJava

    Particulary into the Places API service : Places API

    Where you can query a search sort by radius, place type, etc...

    Hope that will help !
