database as your backend (PostGIS, MsSqlSpatial, Oracle, DB2). We are doing
something very similar on our HUD site. Many of the result sets have a ‘view
in map’ link that uses the extents from the objects geometry to make a
JavaScript call to re-center the map. If you follow that example, you should
easily be able to duplicate the google maps search results.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

looking at that as soon as I get the time :o(<br>
<br>
Next question - can anybody point me at an example that works like the Google
Maps search results? You could search for 'estate agents' in 'London',
and be presented with a list of estate agents on the left hand side of the
screen, and the popups on the map. <br>
<br>
I want to present a list of features listed in tabular form, and clicking on
the text navigates the map to the feature (popup).<br>

<br>
I've been using the Google-esque Popups (they're great!) but I have a question.<br>
<br>
My popup layer has over 17000 points, and when loaded as a Text layer, this
means that there is a significant load on the browser. Is there an
effective way of using the Google popups via some kind of spatial database, so
that the requests can be spatially filtered at the server side (by database or
geoserver or something) <br>
