> Do you guys know if I can parse LatLng on the server side? I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean, can a non-javascript language make direct use of a javascript object like GLatLng - probably not. But it's very easy to extract the lat and long as numerics.

MySQL spatial extensions- http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/spatial-extensions.html However, even without the extension, if you store lat and long as numeric columns it becomes trivially easy to search by a bounding box using less-than, and, more-than. If you must have data by a true radius, you still have to calculate as you do now - but only on a small subset of "possibles" from the box, not the full dataset. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
