Google Places API search for a PLace in GLOBE

Question

I want the user to enter a name of a place , and it will return all the matching places, User will select one from the list, In Google Place API I need to provide a lat, lng and search within a certain radius.

But I want no radius, rather I want it to search the globe, much like the place search in Google Earth.

Right now I am planning to observe Google Earth under wireshark and I'll repeat the same. Is that lawsuit ? or is there any other straight way to do the same ?

I've no problem in using services like bing or any others, if they offer the same

Answer 1

Have you thought about entering a lat,lng of 0,0 and a radius of 12,500 miles? That should cover the world.
