I'm trying to solve a problem and I have a crude solution already. I have started a hackerspace and we are looking for the best location to rent our actual space. So I have plotted all the current members and I am using a polygon in the shape of a circle to plot a radius of 20 or 25 miles depending on how far the member is willing to travel to the place.
These polygons overlap and cause the overlaping sections to be darker. The darker the section the more likely it is that everyone will be happy with the location we select. The problem is 20 miles radius from any point is not the same as driving 20 miles. So how can I select the point on the map and then get all the points in a 360 degree radius which is 20 driving miles from that point. This would result in a much more interesting polygon and also be a more accurate representation of what I am after. Anyone care to help solve this problem? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
