Recently I have seen this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvaf6LCGlUg I have a question on how to integrate the location data onto my php code. I am trying to make a website which will allow users to search a particular listing via a map. its just like a real estate searching website... do you know if I have to store data for country, city and nieghbourhood in my database? or will it come real time? E.G "a user wants search all the properties in mumbai." > my database contains data about the location and adress of the property in mumbai. E.g there are 4 properties in mumbai. So when the user searches for properties in mumbai, he will type mumbai in the search bar and google api will point to mumbai , and the map should also show all the properties in mumbai with pointers So for this scenario, how many tables do I have to create and which columns.. do I have to have all the location data? And I would like to know if someone has a code snippet or database Your help will be much appreciated. Kind Regards S
