Seems to be working in Central Midwest USA - other than I don't always agree about google's categorization of restaurants!

gnuite, just wanted to thank you for your time and effort on mmapper. It is definitely one of the killer apps for maemo. And I can see from all of your posts that you are very dedicated to its success.
Can't wait to try out the poi service. Still wish I could find a POI with hotspots though.
Thanks again.

It seems to give some results, but the list it returns is far from complete. I searched for pizza and it returned a few from a few kilometers away, but the two closest ones weren't included in the search result.

You should be on the payroll at Nokia. Imagine how many n770 and n800s were sold because of MM. It certainly nudged me.
1) Search radius doesn't see to work. For example, if I search for hotels in a radius of 50 miles from Mesa, AZ.... it seems to be giving me results in Mesa, AZ only.
2) Is it possible to import these POI search result into MM POI database (while we patiently wait for MM 2.0)?
3) Would it be possible to implement POI search results in the same way that pre-downloading maps works (supply LAT/LON corners and get all POIs inside the rectangle)?
Again, thanks for all your great work on MM: the best app on the N800!

Mhmhm... cant wait for 2.0 
Actually, I only installed mapper today, and the only thing I missed was some easy way to get live POIs the same way you get maps. voilà.
BTW: do you plan to inlclude sources other than google? I was tempted to use the script that imports POI-data from wikipedia, but I guess it needs geoclue which doesnt work on my 770. It would be great to have choices

I'd like to add a POI search mechanism to Maemo Mapper v2.0, which allows you to search for nearby POIs and automatically add them to your POI database. To support this, I've created a web service, similar to how Maemo Mapper works for downloading routes. 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:
http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/poi.cgi
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.
please help.
