[postgis-users] True area search

[Galen Ward]

Thought you all might be interested in seeing PostGIS being used in Real
Estate. We just launched Estately True Area search, which lets people find
homes for sale inside or nearby any Washington State neighborhood, city or
zip code. We also allow users to conduct radius searches. Click here to see
a sample search for Ballard, a neighborhood in
Seattle.<http://www.estately.com/map/?min_x=-122.41593360900879&max_x=-122.3378276824951&min_y=47.65897077712392&max_y=47.69872930186443&order=days_asc&min_price=-1&max_price=-1&min_feet=-1&max_feet=-1&property_type=both&full_text=&location=ballard&location_buffer=0&search_poly=&zoom=14&search_order=price,feet,property_type,full_text&permalink#map>

We are happily buffering and transforming points and polygons on the fly!
This would not be possible for our two man team without PostGIS and, to a
lesser extent, GeoRuby.

Sincerely,
