title: Google Places API: Text Search with My Location
body: <p>I am getting my head around the Google Places APi.</p>
  
  <p>I am using TextSearch and it generally seems ok. However, the responses are not quite what I want.</p>
  
  <p>here is my search: <a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=Reading&amp;sensor=true&amp;key=XxXXXXXXXXMYKEY" rel="nofollow">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=Reading&amp;sensor=true&amp;key=XxXXXXXXXXMYKEY</a></p>
  
  <p>The search above responds with REading, PA then Reading UK, however as I am in Reading UK I would expect reading UK to be returned first.</p>
  
  <p>So, I want to get results ordered my my Location (however I don't want to limit my results to 50KM radius), is there are knowledge out there for how to do this? (Without doing my own distance ordering....)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
  Aiden</p>
