texte = We have been asked to create a Dealer Locator system for a client. So far there are approx. 6,000 dealers nationwide with many more to come.Has anyone done something similar? It would seem obvious that you could simply enter a city/state, but that would eliminate nearby dealers if they were across a boarder? Zip codes would seem logical if there was some sort of tabel that said wich zip codes were near to each other, although this would not be that usefull if you were dealing with a very wide area zip code.A map engine similar to Yahoo Maps would seem like the most sophisticated way to compare addresses and then display all records within a 50 mile radius. Are there any software packages that do this, obiviously WebCat would not be able to do this on its own.If anyone has any suggestions or has done something similar we, would appreciate the advice.Thanks,Josh --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joshua Blank Pop Art LLC http://pop-art.com josh@pop-art.com eCommerce / Web Design / Multimedia7000 SW Hampton St. tel: (503) 968.5957 Suite 124 fax: (503) 620.8487 Portland, OR 97223-8361
