Can you give me a greater insight on this? Your code is very interesting for something I'm now working on but I'm missing some details. With which values are the variables radius, latitude and longitude filled? I have a database with all the villages in France and their corresponding latitudes and longitudes in decimal format. If I would like to use your code how would it look like?

Kind regards,

Robin MEEUWSEN
