Use the Google Maps API to search within a predefined set of data

My client has a list of store locations. Now what he wants is to let users search for any of these locations, based on the address the user submitted. The search results will be based on the proximity of the locations.

So basically what I am looking for is Google Maps functionality, but based only on the set of (geographical) data I provide.

Do any of you know if this is even possible, and if so, what can be a good starting point to learn more about it?

Thanks in advance.

You're welcome to copy the code directly from here, it does exactly what you request.

You'll need offices.htm, offices.js and logo.png.

To prepare your list of offices, you might find this Excel addin useful

Sure it is possible. I guess you have in you database set of the latitude and longitude entries for each store. You can get users current location with geocoder and measure distance with distanceFrom call to find the nearest store.
