The one we built uses a very fast little monkey with a really long tape measure...

I wish I would have thought of using a zip / lat long table.  Could have saved millions on banannas.

Yes, the ones that I have seen use longitude and latitude for zipcodes.
Lots of places you can purchase those tables.

Hey guys,

I was wondering, how do those sites work where it lets you 
search for lets say a business of a certain type that is x 
miles away from zipcode xxxxx where it lets you put in a 
distance and zipcode?

I cant think of how to even begin on that one, do they store 
longitude and latitude in a database or something?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Alan
