Closest UNIT - Google Maps Based (GPS location)

[amerix]

Hello!

I am building a custom database for a delivery/trucking business.

There is a field with the current zip code for each driver (record).

I would like to create a querry that will allow me to enter a specific ZIP code in a search field, and based on that to find the closest Driver (record).

It can also be within a radius of 50, 100 miles and so on....

Probably the easier way would be relation with google maps...

Any sugesstions?

Thank you!!!

Not sure if this custom function will help you at all....

As long as you know GPS coordinates for the pickup location and the driver, it should do the trick.
