"Find a Dealer near you" locator script

[Galsaba]

Anyone knows how I can find a script for "Find a Dealer near you" locator
script?
I prefer to have it in two stages:
1. The customer will enter his address, and then the result will be a list of
dealer in a radius of let's say 20 miles.

2. When the user clicks on the dealer's link, the result will be the exact
Driving distance.

If this is not the right forum to post this message, then, if you know which
one is the right one, please let me know.

Thanks,

You will need some kind of API/Database that will let you do that. A few of
those are:

Or, if you have a database of dealers, you can enter these addresses in a
database, along with their latitude/longitude. Then, based on the address,
find the distance. It seems simple, but it can be tricky if you have a ton
of dealers.
To find latitude/longitude of a given address:

To find distance between two latitude/longitude sets:
