Thanks, Graham. May I assume that this will work on the iPad (using
Google Maps) as well as on the Mac?

When planning a trip I am constantly looking for answers to questions
in the format spelled out in the Subject. Examples:

Search for chinese restaurant in or near Dillon, SC
Search for Hampton Inn in or near Rocky Mount, NC
Search for Pancake House restaurant in or near Embassy Suites,
Deerfield Beach, FL

Does anyone knoow of a web site that coujld answer questions like these?


No, but I can do it in easy steps using Google.

1) Search Dillon NC
2) Click on Map
3) Clear the search box above the map which will say Dillon SC
4) now search (in the box you just cleared) Chinese Restaurant

Result - 3 in Dillon SC.

It's not foolproof; there's an IHOP in Deerfield Beach but if you
search Pancake House on a map of Deerfield Beach IHOP doesn't show.
Oh, wait, maybe that's not such a surprise!
