Calculate closest locations to a latitude and longitude
A working self-contained JavaScript example of how to search sitelist.json files for the closest location to a latitude and longitude.
Depending upon your browser, you may need to view the files from a web server.
The find-locations.js file uses a combined searching and sorting algorithm which is very fast compared to using separate steps. It can return the single closest site, ID and distance, or the n closest sites.
Unzip the file to a suitable location and load the location-search.html into a browser.
- location-search.html
- The main demonstration HTML page
- find-locations.js
- Support code for the HTML page
- jquery-1.10.0.min.js
- JavaScript framework
- sitelist.json
- A JSON representation of the sitelist.
In your final code you should load the sitelist from DataPoint and cache locally.
