I am trying to write one.
Are there any tools that I need to use to write it?(may be mapPoint?)
I think that there are two ways to write the appication:
1. Having database of all my dealers, each with latitude and longtitude.
When the customer eneters his zip code, then I need to calculate how many
dealers are in that area. I am trying to find some hints or script.
2. Having database of all my dealers. One table will have the dealers, the
other table will have zip codes that each dealer service (some zipcodes have
more than one dealer that service them, some dealers have many zipcodes that
they service). Then when the customer enters his zipcode, i will use a query to
find all dealers that service this zipcode?
Which approach is prefers?
