How do I retrieve a list of businesses from Google Maps and display it in a J2ME Midlet application?

Question

I want to enter a string containing information about the place, along with the type of business. For example new york bank. When I enter this on Google Maps, I see a map of New York, along with red dots which represent banks.

I know how to retrieve a static image (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/) and display it in a Midlet application, but I do not know how to retrieve a list of businesses (the red dots you see on the map).

Is there a way to do this? I searched Google, and looked at the API but could not find any good examples.
