Get nearby street addresses within a radius

Question

I would like to retrieve a list of all the street addresses within a small range on a geopoint.

A scenario for use is for a user to select his/her current address from a list of addresses (within say 50 meters) of current location, since location retrieval is not going to be accurate enough.

I am wondering if that is possible using Google maps API? Otherwise does anyone knows an alternative API that I can use for this purpose?

From what I've seen, although the Google maps reverse geocoding service returns a number of "addresses" for a geopoint they are usually just different representations of the address, rather than addresses near location.

I've seen some similar questions on SO but none had the answers I am looking for.

Answer 1

I was able to get the kind of results I was looking for using a combination of APIs.

First I get the names of the nearby streets using Geonames' "Find nearby streets"

Then for each street I get a geopoint and run it by TomTom's Reverse Geocoding method of their Map Toolkit API, that gives me the min and max street number values for each of the streets.
