It would be great to integrateGoogle Places API for Android - this way an admin could have 3 options.
1. Admin allow to submit listings via plugin (like it currently is)
2. Admin toggle backend to select Google places API (automaticallyGet data from the same database used by Google Maps. Places features over 100 million businesses and points of interest that are updated frequently through owner-verified listings and user-moderated contributions.)
3. Utilize both - users can submit and pull data from Google places API

Doesnt just have to be android or? Assume on browser would be the same. Million of listings based on google places api
@mark @kent is this something doable for the plugin?

It’s doable but seems that google Api is not free
So this could be a great addition and for those of us willing to pay for the google api, we could do that individually in our developer accounts? Would love to see this work. Automatically grab information into the directory from google.

It must be feasible because I found a moosocial site that has ..... 416782 Business with this plugin and I'm sure he did not type all one by one
Wow would love to see that.

So what's your impression ?
i think it would be really great, no one has time to add one by one, or even allow submitting via csv format
Will this happen
