I'm looking for some kind of way to find nearby shops/companies given a GPS location. I was looking at the Google Places API but that is still under development.
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
A:
Take a look at http://compass.webservius.com - it's a REST API giving access to a list of 16+ million businesses in the US, which you can search by latitude/longitude, type of business (sic/naics code), zip code, etc.

Thanks for your answer, but I was more looking for companies in Europe (more specific Belgium). Google places would be a perfect start if I could call it.
