I would llike to add a search on my site for places within a 25 mile radius. Would I have to make that an internal search within my site and manually input all the different citys or is there an easier way?
Thanks!

Hiya Dave,

You might want to check with some of the more popular mapping sites like mapquest or google map or sites like that and see if they have any apps or ways to integrate their maps into sites.

Thanks Jo Ann!

Jo Ann is right. If you join up with Google for instance, you can create your own maps adding in sign posts to whatever will be of interest to your web site audience - that could just be the hardware stores spread around an area - or the yoga clubs. Then you can take the short snippet of code and paste that into your web page.

Take a look at this one I added to a gallery site:
http://nuke.nuovaicona.com/Exhibitions160160Events/Map160of160Venice160Events/tabid/506/Default.aspx
I update it each time the curator tells me to - that means I open up my maps in Google - add in the new content - save and copy the new snippet into the web page. Click on the little flags to see the kind of thing you can include - addresses - email - urls etc.

Thanks Janys!

if you're handy with php you can feed a bunch of addresses through their geocoder and plot them on a map with their maps API too
