check this out
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceSearches
you can
its a normal web service, post a request and get an XML / JSON list
A Place Search request is an HTTP URL of the following for
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/output?parameters
e.g
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere
Gets the JSON output as
