Good morning,
I didn't see a forum for Google Maps so I figured this would be the best place to post. My question has more to do with geocoding than JS, but I will be using JS to perform the search and the calculations. First of all I want to convert miles to lat lng. Say my Lat is 43.5643 what would be the Lat's 5 miles in either direction.
Here's what I'm working on. I have an XML file with all the lat's and lng's (Geopts) of locations. I'm trying to allow a user to perform a search for locations within a selected distance from an address, zip, or city/state. I've already set up all the framework to verify the address and geocode it. In order to save calls to Google Maps Client Geocoder I want to perform all the caculations without using distanceFrom(). For my pourposes a bounding box is fine. We don't need to refine it to an actual circle. I know there is probably a framework already setup for this, but I want to actually learn it myself. So your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
CpVermont
