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?
Dan.
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.

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

sorry for late reply -- too dang busy these days (what else is new)
thanks for the suggestions ...
I'll probably look at doing what Adam suggested and use some postgres function - I have not used it that much -- mostly MySQL over the number of years -- but I did dabble with it years ago, and at the time it was much superior, so thanks for the nod on that tool .. will let ya know what I find out
