Anything to do with using the Google Places API is going to be off-topic here, but the best place to start would be the developer docs.

So I’d recommend option 1. This is a simple way of doing this that you can improve an. (E.g. this … Read more
For all those who might hit the same problem, here is the solution: Disable in Yoast the “remove category” option in advanced section. Then install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-category-url/ ( do use any other plugin as this one works – yes, I tried them all) For some reason the Yoast solution and all other plugins don’t … Read more

It’s just a little bit cleaner, since you don’t mix your PHP with your JS, and generally a neat way to pass things from the server side to your JavaScript.
