Forum OpenACS Q&A: Proximity Search

Collapse
Posted by Sam Sam on
Hello everyone,
I am a first time caller here, so please be easy on me.
I am trying to put together a proximity search for our web map.

  For example: User clicks on a map and an x/y coordinate pair is created.
Based on the x/y coordinate pair values, the closest address to the x/y coordinate pair is displayed.
Needless to say, I haven't got a clue how to get started on this.
Any suggestions, help, sample scripts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all in advnce.

I know I would need to need to use plpgsql to create a function would handle this.
This shouldn't be a problem if I can get an idea of how the script should be written.
