Location Search

(ality) #1

I have an app that takes the users postcode and then needs to search it against 200 locations and return the closest. What is the best way to do this?

I can see there is a google matrix distance api, but that can only check 30 distances at once. Is there another way that you can think of doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure I know of an alternative. :thinking:

I guess Google is ruled out due to a limitation of the 30 limit check.

Have you tried a google search something like “Alternative to Google Maps Distance API” i don’t know if that flags up any services that you can check out. :slight_smile:

Perhaps other community members may already be using an alternative that they can suggest :crossed_fingers:

Good luck!
