I am new to GIA domain. I am trying to learn new concepts around mapping etc and this is my first app/implementation. I am trying to implement a store locator kind of function.
I am thinking to calculate minimum latitude and longitude for a given geocode and distance. Lets say I have lat: 41.850, lng: -87.650 and distance of 10 miles. is it possible to calculate all possible lat and longitude? and from the resulting values i will find the minimum and maximum lat & long. I am using oracle 11g DB and Java/JavaScript
