mysql

[mocha]

basically that was what i was talking about. having a db back end to store 
the data (points, polygons, features, etc) one can extract that information 
quickly for what ever purpose. for instance, if i want to do a route from a 
to b, or find the nearest restaurant to my office etc by zipcode etc.. 
using lat and long. i'd only need one common db back end. then i can plot 
all of this to my hearts desire on my map.
