<h2>List Places Nearby</h2>
<?php
$lat_field = 'jr_latitude';
$lon_field = 'jr_longitude';
$center = array(
   $CustomFields->field($lat_field,$listing,false,false),
   $CustomFields->field($lon_field,$listing,false,false),
);
$radius = 100; // Miles or Km. You have to change the degree distance below accordingly
$degreeDistance = 40076/360; // For Km use 40076/360;

$lat_range = $radius/$degreeDistance; 
$lon_range = $radius/abs(cos($center['lat']*pi()/180)*$degreeDistance); 

$min_lat = $center['lat'] - $lat_range;
$max_lat = $center['lat'] + $lat_range;
$min_lon = $center['lon'] - $lon_range;
$max_lon = $center['lon'] + $lon_range;
$squareArea = "(Field.$lat_field BETWEEN $min_lat AND $max_lat AND Field.$lon_field BETWEEN $min_lon AND $max_lon)";

Google service easily locates someones geo locale based on their ip address (im not sure if this is what jreviews already does to use the geomap part)

 

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding#ReverseGeocoding

 

Now what im hoping is with those 2 maybe someone can figure out a way to combine the 2.  So it will just take the long lat values given and post them into the $lat_field = 'jr_latitude'; $lon_field = 'jr_longitude'; fields.

 

Or another way if this seems too hard.  It seems like an easy setup but im not good enough yes with this style of coding to do it :(
