Google Maps API for Small Businesses

The ability to search for nearby businesses using Google Maps APIs are very interesting. Using Google Places webservices API (one of Google Maps API), you can:

1. search for additional delivery and backhaul opportunities along your delivery routes
2. explore partnership opportunities in delivery and backhaul to share resources and reduce carbon footprint
3. Know who your competitors or complementary businesses are in a particular location
4. Location new store near a certain profile of stores
