Hey Guys

I need some help with location based queries.

Lets say I'm in Melbourne Australia.

I do a search for Southbank, I want info returned info from Southbank and surrounding suburbs, such as, South Melbourne, City, Port Melbourne, etc? And can I specify the radius?

Do I use google location api?

If anyone's got some Australian examples, that'd be much appreciated.

Neil

I persume you could use Google/Bing/Yahoo? API possibly. You would have to sign up and check out what they provide in order of access.
