I guess he wants to.
Question on my side:
googlemaps lets me search for points of interest (restaurants, and such).
Is there any similar thing on android?
How would you achieve this?
In some other tutorial someone is using yahoo for this, why? :o

The since m5 existing GeoCode could do this. (At least it would, but it currently is a fake-implementation, which is querying the database)

Using Yahoo had been done, because the Android-Geocoder was not available at all.
