[Accessibility] Finding the Nearest POI

[Alex Jurgensen]

Hi,

Let me try to explain it. I am standing near the intersection that Trekker calls 57 Avenueand 180 Street. I want my application, at the clickof a utton, to tell me this intersection is the nearest. My problem comes from the fact that I can't figure out howto identify the nearest POI from within my application.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Alex,
