Or, depending on what kind of tool you prefer, you can insert geospatial data directly into a PostgreSQL table and then run a SQL query with geo. functions/operators to find the answers you're looking for. Since I've come to hate any and all GIS apps, that'd be my approach. -Adam

Google Earth is pretty close to read-only in terms of use as a GIS program, and doesn't seem to support plug-ins. You'd probably need a more full-fledged GIS program for that kind of data analysis. I'm trying some (MapInfo, Maptitude, QGIS) at work for the design of fiber networks and could try an attempt at the results you're looking for... I may even know which map you're talking about.

Odd question - but I'll ask if anyone else has done such a thing ...
Using google earth pro on PC ...
Can't seem to find an easy solution to this one ...
I have a bunch of points on a map that were geocoded by address ..
and I
have this circle (radius 50km or such) I drew on the map ...
I want to know the number of points that are within this circle -- optionally also want to extract these /save them to extrapolate out
the
attached meta data on the points ...
anyone do such a thing directly in GEP?
