Hi
Can anyone get me on the right track,
I am currently trying to get restaurants and dispensary inforrmation similar to Leafly using the Google Api
does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
So your trying to get something like google maps? So you can type in a place and it gives you places like it around there?
Yes, I want to use mapview to find the closest location for restaurants as well as dispensaries, I am just having some issues specially because it takes time to reinstall the app because I don’t have a way to use the mapping functions with the corona simulator.
Yelp have a pretty good API you could use
I am trying to use mapview
That would definitely work do you have a link to a tutorial that I could use.
Thank you so much
I can take a look a “maybe” trying to do a code sample when I get home. But this maybe where you have to do some investating.
Here are some helpful places to get started.

Went the extra mile to make a yelp plugin

On the map view there part I recommend the docs

Oh the things fellow programmers do for their fellow programmers!
if u r not reluctance, can i see ur code?
Corona Labs has a sample app we call the Business App Sample. One of the screens shows how to use a mapView to plot locations of various locations. The sample uses fixed data, but you could use the above Yelp library or make your own calls to Google to get a list of facilities that you’re interested in.
Once you have the table of data from the server, it should be pretty easy to follow the code in the Business App Sample to plot your locations.
