Google Places Autocomplete Limit Suggestions to Local Area

Question

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can I limit the suggestions that Google Places Autocomplete find to say 5 km of a certain location? If I'm in Dublin I don't want to see suggestions in Canada!

You can set the country that you searching in it in the google request. Just add to your url request the parameter:

&components=country:kw

I've used the location=lat,lon parameter, but can't find it in the documentation anymore. There is a locationbias parameter, though.
