Here is the code i created to convert google places api to buzztouch map compatible json.I know they provide json feed but i found converting xml easier for buzztouch. Thought this might be of great use for all. Just put in your api key and upload it to your server. Point the Data Url to this page with the variables and enjoy.. Hope you all like it. <?php header('Content-type: application/json'); $file= file_get_contents("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?" . "location=" . $_GET['location'] . "&radius=" . $_GET['radius'] . "&types=" . $_GET['types'] . "&sensor=false&key=yourkeyhere"); $file=str_replace('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>','',$file); $file=str_replace('<result>','{ "itemType":"BT_mapLocation", ',$file); $file=str_replace('</result>',' "loadScreenWithItemId":"showDirections" },',$file); $file=str_replace('<lat>','"latitude":"',$file); $file=str_replace('</lat>','",',$file); $file=str_replace('<id>','"itemId":"',$file); $file=str_replace('</id>','",',$file); $file=preg_replace('|<type>(.*?)</type>|is','',$file); $file=preg_replace('|<reference>(.*?)</reference>|is','',$file); $file=preg_replace('|<icon>(.*?)</icon>|is','',$file); $file=preg_replace('|<html_attribution>(.*?)</html_attribution>|is','',$file); $file=preg_replace('|<status>(.*?)</status>|is','',$file); $file=str_replace('<lng>','"longitude":"',$file); $file=str_replace('</lng>','",',$file); $file=str_replace('<name>','"title":"',$file); $file=str_replace('</name>','",',$file); $file=str_replace('<vicinity>','"subTitle":"',$file); $file=str_replace('</vicinity>','",',$file); $file=str_replace('<location>','',$file); $file=str_replace('</location>','',$file); $file=str_replace('<geometry>','',$file); $file=str_replace('</geometry>','',$file); $file=str_replace('<PlaceSearchResponse>','',$file); $file=str_replace('</PlaceSearchResponse','',$file); $file=str_replace('>','',$file); echo '{ "childItems":['; echo $file; echo ' ] }'; ?>

Nice, i’ll add a link to my Buzztouch & Google Maps article pointing to this thread. Fred
