is a search for nearest places possible in gmaps4rails?

just wondering if i can search 开发者_JAVA技巧for places near to a specific lat/lang with gmaps4rails. I checked the code but did not find anything. if sbd. does somebody already implemented sth like this ?

like (taken from geocoder gem):

 Place.near([40.71, 100.23], 20)

thx

I made gmaps4rails and do not want it to be a copy of what exists and works perfectly.

So keep on using Geocoder or Geokit for search, gmaps4railsis here to display stuff :)

Basically, answer is no!
