Find how many (googlemap) polygons near x distance of a point?

I'm not sure if you want to calculate the distance to the nearest corner of the polygon, boundary of the polygon or some notional central point of it. Either way I think the mathmetical solution to this is to use Pythagoras' theorem to work out the proximity of points.

Okay, did this - and it works - might help someone.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
