title: Google Places API returning sparse results vs Google Places iPhone app
body: <p>I am building an application which uses Google Places API to show restaurants near my current location.  For some reason the results are very sparse compared to the results that I can see from the Google Places iPhone application.  For example from my rural home, Google Places app shows the nearest location 2.4 mi away.  The Places API from this lat/long shows the nearest location 15.7 mi away.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible that "Google Places" the application is not using the Google Places API?</p>
