Thanks, no Oracle here, but I'll check SQL and OpenLayers.

Oracle may have an SDO_NN (nearest neighbor) type call. I'm not sure about SQL Server. MG doesn't have a closest spatial operator, that would be a good wishlist item.

Thanks for the reply, I will try that approach and see how it turns out. It does seem like it may be pretty taxing and slow with a lot of points to keep looping different circles around them (I forgot to explain there would be a lot). Is there anything in the API for "closest" ? Just to get the ID of the segment? I actually don't need to select them. I was also going to check into SQL spatial to see if there is any way to do it as well. Thanks
Brian

You could do a spatial query using a circle in a loop continually increasing the radius each time until you get a result. Setting the initial radius and the increments of the circle probably depends on the coordinate system of the data although this is similar to the logic in the selection for a click select in the AJAX Viewer so you could start with that.

What is the best approach to performing a spatial query as such that a road segment closest to a point is selected? Any examples out there? Not sure if OpenLayers or Mapguide Api would be best, but appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
Brian
