We want to implement a logistic software program to fetch all the places between two locations.
As an example A is the starting point and B is the destination. Now we would like to fetch all the area names with in a radius of 500 Meters from the google maps at starting point (A), destination point (B) and all the places between A and B.
Is there any API which can be integrated or any kind of help is welcome!!!!
Of course there is! You should use Google Places API and feed it with the points (lat, alt) that you get from your Google Maps route. Remember to use the radar function.

I want to implement an A* Search Algorithm with google maps's API, but how can I get the coordinates just from the streets, not from the houses etc? And how can I get the neighbor's coordinates from this specific street coordinate? How can I identify crossroads? Does someone have an idea? I need this to trace a route, but I don't want to use google's algorithm
*Coordinates= Latitude,Longitude
The street data is not available via the Google Maps API for use in other routing algorithms read the terms of service). You will need to use an open source for mapping data like Open Street Maps
What I am looking for is the specific parameters I need to go directly to google maps with 8 locations (address or lat/long coordinates) already set with driving directions. Is something like this doable or mere pie in the sky thinking?
see this description of available Google Maps parameters
saddr: - start
daddr: - destination
to: - waypoints

I need to find points that define delimitations of neighbors from Chicago.
My question is: How can I find a list with latitudes/longitudes of all the points that delimit neighbors. For example:
Gold Coast from Chicago is a polygon with 6 points as seen on google map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=m&vpsrc=6&source=embed&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=206241844247425110008.0004b43f0262868b8037f
What is the best way to extract this points so I can draw poly-lines over google map with google API for specific neighbors?
Edited:
So with addresses, which you already have, you can create a Maps API site:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/
and use the Geocoding API to get the latitude and longitude of each of the addresses.
Added: Seems based on your comment that you're looking for neighborhood boundary data. Google Maps doesn't provide that data. There are different venders that do, one I have heard of is the Zillow Neighborhood API. I have never used it so I don't know much about it.
I'm reading through Google Maps API documentation and I wonder if such a think is possible:
I specify the point (by coords)
I search for all roads, and junctions around the node (say in 1km radius)
I get parameters for the streets around (polyline coords)
Is it reachable, or google do not share that data?
Thanks in advance

I can image writing up a little script that generates a bunch of random points within a 1km radius and then performs directions services via Google Maps API to obtain all possible routes and thus streets within a 1km radius. However, this is problematic since it is kinda against the Google Maps TOS of displaying this information only on a map within a website and not extracting data for you personal use as this would be.
A better approach would be looking into utilizing Open Street Map data where you can download street data from a specific viewport. If buying street network data is an option, you can go to a commercial outlet such as NAVTEQ or PTV which post-processes NAVTEQ data to a format for use in the transport modeling software package you mention on your blog.
I want to develop an application to find the value of a property based on some constants(such as the distance from the shore,the width of the road in frond of the property,the neighborhood that is located to etc) -constants that i will have to insert to that application (i guess with some tool that can make kml files with point,lines,areas and geocoding information) and variables which i will have τo take from the user through a series of forms.To succesfully calculate a value i need to make spatial querys (such as which is the distance of a point from that polygon?)
Is it possible to develop such an app with google maps or google earth or i have to develop with the use of an GIS(ESRI,Manifold etc).Also which is the difference between the possibilities of the resulting apps with maps and earth?
Thank you
Bill Chadwick has some Javascript for Google Maps that calculates the distance of a point from a poly. See the the bottom of this page.
