texte = here is a php function that works just fine for locators. you just filter the distances you want - 10m, 20m, etc... the only thing is you have to find a formula to convert degrees to radius in wc - the deg2rad() function in php is doing that here. there must be a formula somewhere on wikipedia how to do that. here is the code: function decimal_distance($lat1,$lon1,$lat2,$lon2) { //$radius is determined using the following formula //(360 degrees)*(60 minutes per degree)*(1.852) km per minute //give a circumference of 40003.2 km //radius is circumference/(2*pi) which gives us 6637km or 3956miles $radius=3956; //$radius=3958.75; $lat1 = deg2rad ($lat1); $lat2 = deg2rad ($lat2); $lon1 = deg2rad ($lon1); $lon2 = deg2rad ($lon2); //Haversine Formula (from R.W.
