The main application of this is to aid in the creation of door to door survey walksheets. My application will pass a list of households to the map and use that to populate the map with points. That part is fairly trivial i understand how to do that. Ideally i would like for endusers to be able to draw lines on the map that snap to the nearest road, (much like how you can drag the line that represents a route on google maps). Then based on that i would like to take all of the points that are within say 75 yards of one of those lines and return it to my application. (or would it be eaiser to just return the coordinates of the lines to my application and use php to find houses that are within that range?)
I am decent but still learning php and mysql, i learned a little bit of javascript in a college class, but i am very limited and am not very comfortable in javascript.
