Finding nearest College via API <p>I am working on an app that wants to detect the nearest college to the user's current location. I've been trying to figure out how to do it and came across this post (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16561296/finding-nearest-locations-using-google-map-api">Finding nearest locations using Google Map api</a> )</p> <p>However, I am trying to think of a more efficient way to do this. They suggest storing all the geopoints and looping through and finding the shortest ones. However, when there are thousands of colleges, that seems like sorta hefyty to be running everysingle time I load the app.</p> <p>Is there anything out there that given my longitude and latitude would just tell me the closest one? I just think this seems like a lot of processing for the app to do every single time it is opened...</p>
