> [!NOTE]
> This product is in [Legacy status](https://developers.google.com/maps/legacy.md.txt). As of October 2026, Places API (Legacy) can no longer be enabled for new Google Cloud projects. Existing projects remain fully supported. For updated functionality, consider using: [Place Nearby Search](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/place-nearby-search.md.txt). Places API (New) returns up to 20 results per request (maxResultCount) and no longer uses pagination or 2-second page delays. See the [Place Nearby Search](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/place-nearby-search.md.txt) example for a modern implementation.

This example creates a map that displays the search results for "stores" near
Google's office in Sydney, Australia. A sidebar on the right lists the top 20
results, and users can click the **More results** button to see up to 60
results.

[documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_responses).

### TypeScript

```typescript
// This example requires the Places library. Include the libraries=places
// parameter when you first load the API. For example:
// <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places">

function initMap(): void {
  // Create the map.
  const pyrmont = { lat: -33.866, lng: 151.196 };
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      center: pyrmont,
      zoom: 17,
      mapId: "8d193001f940fde3",
    } as google.maps.MapOptions
  );

  // Create the places service.
  const service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
  let getNextPage: () => void | false;
  const moreButton = document.getElementById("more") as HTMLButtonElement;

  moreButton.onclick = function () {
    moreButton.disabled = true;

    if (getNextPage) {
      getNextPage();
    }

          pagination.nextPage();
        };

    }
  );
}

function addPlaces(

        origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0),
        anchor: new google.maps.Point(17, 34),
        scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(25, 25),
      };

      new google.maps.Marker({
        map,
        icon: image,
        title: place.name!,
        position: place.geometry.location,
      });

      const li = document.createElement("li");

      li.textContent = place.name!;
      placesList.appendChild(li);

      li.addEventListener("click", () => {
        map.setCenter(place.geometry!.location!);
      });
    }
  }
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initMap: () => void;
