Hope someone can advise,
I would like to be able to use google map API to find all Zip codes/cities with x Miles of a point.
Has anyone done such a thing with google map or maybe some other type of service.
Would love to know if so how you have achieved it !
Thank you if you can advise.
There's nothing in the Google Maps API that can help with that, and I've never heard of any such service that could be mashed up with a Google Map.
What you could do is obtain a list of the locations of all the zip codes. Do a web search for [free zip code database] there are lots of them out there. Put it on your server then write your own server script to search it.

This might be a long shot...but would anyone know if you can retrieve the google drive links that is added in a Classic Google Sites or where are photos/files uploaded directly to Sites stored?
For example, if one of the subpages contains several google drive files, can you retrieve the drive links using GAS?
I only found some information about images/photos where Google sites has its own image store, not sure if that is still accurate. Not so much as retrieving the file links added in a Google Sites.
Any information is greatly appreciated! TIA

My mobile App needs to give the user the possibility to select a city in a cities list.
Google geocode has proven very good. For example, I can use the french "Londres" for London or the Italian "Parigi" for Paris.
But the usage limits (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/?hl=fr#Limits) say that I cannot use it without a map. Using a map on this part of my app would be confusing and slow too. I use google maps in other parts of my app.
I know there is another Google API to get the list of locations and all one needs to display is a Google logo but I cannot remember which API it is.
Is there a way to bypass this restriction
You might want to have a look at the Places Autocomplete API. I believe you can use it without a map provided you include the Google logo (which is included by default).

I am currently invested in a project to implement marine charts and maps into our custom Google Maps application. However, I am quite unsure of how to actually go about doing this. I would like to use the NOAA ENC data from here:
http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml
What I would like to do is use this data to display the charts on Google Maps. Does anyone have any ideas/tips/insight on how to do this?
Apparently there is an open-source reader which plugs into common utility (ogr2ogr) which allows you to convert the data into shapefile format:
http://home.gdal.org/projects/s57/
Once you get the data into shapefile format, then turning it into tiles is a well-understood problem. Here is one blog posting of one way someone did it:

Does anyone know where I can find a pregenerated database that has all zip codes and their corresponding city and state?
EDIT: Or is there any webservice that provides this functionality?
Here is one for the USA https://web.archive.org/web/20101126192032/http://pablotron.org/files/zipcodes-csv-10-Aug-2004.zip
It's a CSV file that maps zipcodes to a latitude/longitude coordinate and a city name. The data is under a CC BY 4.0 license but it hasn't been updated since 2004.
Assuming your MySQL frontend is phpMyAdmin, see how to import CSV file, after that, delete columns you don't need, or do it before importing in lets say Excel.
How about this?Not precisely what you asked for, but if your app has internet connectivity, it's probably what you want; never wrong and not your problem.~~
The link above is dead, but this might do the trick if a static database is OK.

My site has a large number of local service providers and their location information.
I'm assuming this is the sort of thing Google would like to index in their Maps or Places product since I see their map widget come up in related search results.
Google Places allows you to do a bulk upload but it has a verification process designed for individual business owners where they call or mail you something.
I've looked a bit into KML or GeoRSS. Has anyone had success using these methods to get Google to index location data that appears in their maps search results?
Have you reviewed the Google webmaster tools documentation for sitemaps?

Also:
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlSearch.html
These cover how to submit data for Maps, Search and Earth.
At first I thought KML was the way to go, but this appears to be what I was looking for:
