It's called the GPX POI Search web service, and it returns a GPX document filled with up to ten wpt elements. (As a bonus, I will be adding the ability to import POI from GPX documents.) The URL is as follows:

I'd appreciate it if some of you could test the service and make sure that it works for you (in your locality). I've tested some American and European searches, but I can't test everything. The "Top Level Domain" variable works the same way - you should get French results if you use a top level domain of "fr".

Also, feedback is welcome. The data comes from Google Maps, and I'm still looking for a way to return more than ten results at a time, so if you know the answer, please let me know.
Hi, does this still work? I had maemo mapper 2.2 and when I tried these services, it said "page not found"...

please help.
