geolocation query

[Chuck Han]

I know that the 3DWH allows location queries with addresses (e.g., 10
market st, san francisco). What about lat/lng?

thanks in advance, Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Yes, you can search for lat/lng. You just need to put the lat/lng in
quotes.

For your example, I'd type (in the search box):
near:"37.794436,-122.394825"

You can combine this with things like is:best-of-geo and
within:<radius> too.
This generally falls in the category of advanced search.

Thanks, Mark, that was my next try :-)

I tried (37.794436,-122.394825) in the main query box and in the
advanced "Find items that are near this address" query box, but
obviously no-go. I was using () because that's the syntax used in
maps.google.com. (Also, FYI, "lat, lng" does not work in the "Find
items that are near this address" query box).

thanks, Chuck
