Using database with Google Maps API Store Locator

Question

My question is pretty much highlighted here:

Using database with Store Locator on Google Maps API

Although I'm trying to create something using only javascript, html & css, but the only answer on this question is in php. Is there a way to do it without?

So you want a database, but no server-side language? How do you hold your data? — MrUpsidown, Mar 26 '14 at 16:32

Yes you can. First you need to have a set of data like

[
   {name:"shop 1",lat:149.23532000,long:-35.35248400},
   {name:"shop 2",lat:148.23532000,long:-34.35248400},
   {name:"shop 3",lat:147.23532000,long:-33.35248400}
]

Then use the formula to calculate the distance for each of the shop using lat and long, output those distance within the distance you specify say like 5 km. You can also read here and here

to do it easily without reading all those math calc you can just plugin the mysql calculation into your mysql and output the results in json for your frontend to consume. – wayne Mar 26 '14 at 16:25
