August 26, 201411 yr Hi, i had one project on mind for a while. I know some HTML, i can roughly read php, not quite code it, and havent really done anything with databases MySql. Mostly have woked with Wordpress and making CSS and such. I want to know is it possible to create a database that would be based on google maps. Like if you make a route from London to Berlin, it would show a route, as google maps do normally, but it would show a set radius ( changable range) of all the database inputs, locations that are in the range along the route. Think it as it would show all McDonalds all along the route. These points would need to be variable, as not permament, and removed once you visited it. Would that kind of database be able to handle more than 1000 locations and up. Other question is, what i should learn to do it myself atleast to a prototype lvl and where to start. Many thanks. Kris.
August 26, 201411 yr Sure that's probably doable but how are you going to choose the non-permanent locations? There are only so many points of interest in Google maps. Iit's not too distant from a "store locator" function, just displays records in the viewable map area, but you'd need to have records of locations you want to display.
August 26, 201411 yr Author Yeah the data of the location would be added by website users and removed once the date is old.
