Define "all possible coordinates contained within the polygon". Hint: There's an infinite number of points inside a polygon. What is your intended area of coverage? A city? A country? The world? Those are very different scenarios. You might want to think about using predefined polygons, like zipcodes, or counties. That would simplify the problem a lot. Aside from that, what do you need "all addresses" for? If you save your polygons to a database, then you can lookup what polygon a given address belongs in, only if the address is relevant for a delivery. You don't need information about the neighbours' address. > I wouldn't be storing any > of this information, just displaying it for immediate use. It is recommended that you do store it. Addresses don't change latitude/longitude, so there is no need to look up any given address more than once. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- > > Any help you guys could provide would be great.
