Hi there, I've been reading a couple of different approaches to "geospatial" queries using google maps and google app engine, but haven't quite solved my puzzle.
What I've got: 1) a number of places of interest within an area (city) What I need 1) User dials in a proximity (simple to do) 2) When the user hovers over the map a transparent circle forms around the cursor equal to the earlier defined proximity (no idea how to do 3) User selects a point on a map 4) The point selected and proximity is then returned to my code (no idea how to do) It's a little tricky and not along the lines of what I've read thus far: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geospatial.html http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/geosearch.html It seems that everyone uses rectangular search grids, why not circles? Surely defining 1 parameter is easier (radius)? Also I have no clue as to how to put together the scalable proximity circle around the cursor: my initial thoughts are to connect the scale of the map with the proximity defined Any ideas would be appreciated.
