I would look into: 1) a WFS Service somewhere with oceans or continents and just call a PointInPoly service 2) a WMS Service that supports getInfo requests and parse those to see if any of the features are "water" 3) create a polygon overlay and do client side point in polygon lookups 4) see if Google Geocoder does reverse geocoding and will tell you if a LatLong is in water
I would not call any of those brilliant :) but I might tend towards item 2 Hugely On Jun 24, 1:41 pm, Manuel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi fellows, > I'm trying to do a app that has to have a restriction.
