google places library without map
问题 I am trying to use the google places library for a nearby search request: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_requests i just want to pull the json response and put it in a html list, i do now want to show results on a map or something else. I do not want to use map at all. But in documentation it states that there has to be a map service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(**map**); in order to pass it as an argument in the PlacesService
