Thanks for the great app Daniel. This is a great app. iT crashes every now and then but it's quite useful. A couple of suggestions:

1) For the UI, I think it's better to change the flow and make the program default to search nearby. The "Search nearby me" button can be replaced by "Search location" and when toggled ask for the location to search. The program could have a "Setting" menu to store the radius info required by Search nearby me.

I modify the code locally and force the program to always search nearby. I find the usability better. I also make the radius a constant and find that Google local search is still able to return search result further away than the radius specified.

2) Is there a way to auto-center the map based on the user's position when opening the map in full-size?

3) I haven't checked the relating code (did the local mod on N900), but could you share why you limit the number of results displayed per page to 20? During testing, I find pressing the previous/next page buttons is prone to crash the app.

4) Please please add Yelp if you can. Another app, libellule, attempted that but seemed to be contacted by Yelp and dropped Yelp support.
