Hi, I've never done anything with Google Maps before. I have a project where we're using ArcGIS, but I'd like to reproduce that functionality with Google Maps, if possible. While I've used the ArcGIS web services and wrote the JavaScript to accomplish the task, I'm still new to Mapping and GIS systems, so any insight to how what I've done translates to Google maps would be helpful. If something isn't clear, please let me know and I'll try to clarify. Also keep in mind that I have access to the GIS server except via the exposed web services.
The ArcGIS component does the following: * A map is loaded with residential data of a township * The user selects a point on the map and inputs a radius * I query the geometry server and get the dimensions of a graphic, represented by a circle and translated to the dimensions that make the graphic represent the radius around the starting point * Using that graphic, I make an IdentifyTask call back to server to get all of the residential addresses within the bounds of the graphic. Is Google Maps an appropriate tool to reproduce this? Another thing to note is that while I'm currently asking the GIS server for the addresses, I also have the address available externally. So, if Google maps couldn't actually provide the residential addresses, could I pre-geocode them and then just use google maps to handle the "within a radius of a point" aspect against my geocoded data set?
