I have a data set of locations and would like to allow users to search with advanced things like Search for X near Y.
开发者_如何学运维I have the ability for handling X using all of the meta data about my locations but I don't have the ability to return a result if they type
find X near I35 or find X near Starbucks
Does anyone know of a way to get this sort of functionality, commercial or free.
Take a look at the Google Fusion Tables SQL API:
http://code.google.com/apis/fusiontables/
This gives you an SQL-like interface for doing both "X has property Y" and "X is near Y"
It also lets you display these results on a Google Map very easily.
