Google Places API – nearby search

[ingemar]

Hi Alex,

Do you still consider a nearby search for Google Places API irrelevant to this project, as mentioned here #327 ?

Otherwise I'd be happy to submit a pull request.

Best regards,

I believe it was added in #1143 (?).

That was the Text Search that was added.

I need the Nearby Search.

Different endpoints, and params differ a bit.

We use Geocoder for a lot of other API-calls, so it would be neat to keep sticking to Geocoder for everything.

Sorry for the slow response. Yes, I'm interested in adding the Nearby Search. It's a bit outside Geocoder's core functionality but if we've added Text then it makes sense to add Nearby too (they're so similar).
