Description:	REPOST - PREVIOUS PROVIDER STOPPED WORK! NEEDED ASAP! I need someone to create a reusable tool for me to use to collect places of interest which will include from Google. The tool should be able to import a list of GPS coordinates and then utilize Google Maps API to gather the required data that is a given proximity to the location. This tool should be able to store the gathered information into an Access DB or comma-delmited file. Information that will be needed is all accessible from Google. (Name of business, address, city, state and phone number). This MUST be an automated process and reusable without additional modification. OUTLINE: 1) Tool must collect data from Google automatically 2) Must be able to import GPS data from some format (ie, flat text, Excel, DB) 3) Must be able to extrapolate data from Google (ie, Business name, Address, City, State, Phone Number, website, etc) based on GPS coordinate 4) Tool must search for HOTELS, FOOD, GAS and return results to an ACCESS DB PM with questions. As an example: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&geocode=2429248251392484496,26.719038,-80.089397&q=category:+restaurant&near=Palm+Beach+Lakes+Blvd+%4026.719038,+-80.089397&ie=UTF8&attrid=&radius=0.473400&ei=TF9cSIC9HqDSrQLyiuycDw&z=16 In this case, the category "RESTAURANT" is used along with GPS coordinates 26.719038,-80.089397 within a 2500 foot proximity (&radius=0.473400). This returns a number of items displayed on the map and details in a left navigation section. I need anything returned to be saved into a DB or TEXT file. Using the Google Maps API, a GPS coordinate must then be obtained using the business address (GeoCoding). The tool should have a simple interface for me to enter a SEARCH TERM and PROXIMITY (ie, 2000feet, 3000ft, etc) and then it should use GOOGLE to return results and capture results into a DB/text file. I AM OPEN TO HEARING ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM - PM ME!
