[RndTbl] Google Earth points within circle/object

[Dan Keizer]

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

Dan.
