## About

## What it does
Nearby Places returns locations near a latitude and longitude. Send `lat` and `lon`, and you can also narrow the search with `limit` and `radius_m`.

Use Nearby Places when you need place suggestions around a user, a delivery stop, a venue, or any map coordinate. The request is simple: provide a point on the map, then tune how many results you want back and how far out to search. The response schema is open-ended, so expect a structured list of nearby results without assuming a fixed set of fields.

This is a good fit for location-based search, local discovery features, store finders, route planning, and map interfaces that need context around a point rather than a single address. It is also useful when you already have coordinates from geocoding or GPS and need the surrounding places to drive the next step in your workflow.
