Barry, Thanks so much for the quick response. I'm a non-dev looking for a layperson's tutorial or an example that actually does this looping. What part of the code does the looping? This will help me do some cutting and pasting into what I've got so far.
I've gotten as far as creating a map that displays all of my POIs. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to only pull the POIs that fall within the range of the route and the box, and I just haven't been able to find a walk-through or an example that is at my level of technical ability. Just to see if I could do it, I added the RouteBoxer.js code to my existing map. I also copied and pasted the code on the examples.html page in. When I do this, no map is generated. Any advice you can offer is much appreciated! - KP On Wednesday, June 27, 2012 5:39:43 PM UTC-4, barryhunter wrote: > > The example on the documentation page > > http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/routeboxer/docs/examples.html > > > shows how to loop though the 'boxes' retured from the boxer call. > > You would probably fire off a ajax request off to your server, which would > perform a bounding box search, get the results.
