I am creating a UK based estate agent site and would like to implement a proximity search function.
i.e the user would type in the area that they are looking for a house as well as a search radius and the site would display a list of all matching houses for sale in this area. I am assuming I will need a list of every town, village and city in the UK with their associated longitude and latitude however I am really struggling to find one. Can anyone suggest where I can find such a list. I don't mind paying for one assuming I don't have to sell my house to do so. If I can get this list, then my theory is to use pythagoras theorem to work out which properties are within the specified radius. Not sure how practical this will be. So if anyone has created similar functionality I would really appreciate some tips. Thanks in advance Paul _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
