Thanks for the response. So, assuming: * I have a database with address * I geocode all of those addresses such that I'm storing the long/lat with the rest of the address information * I take my addresses and put them on to a map
At that point, I would still be unable to choose a point and radius and see which of the addresses I've loaded fall within the radius?
