dflow Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 i want to choose only one name from the list according to the GPS coordinates Which one? Random? First? First in what order? actually i don't know, the list is too long and places have different ways of being spelled.(i'll need to decide on that later) let's say Random at first for example the following name for a place in Andora country_id,countrycode,City,city_name,region_id,Lat,Lng,city_id 127,ad,bicisarri,Biçisarri,06,42.483333587646484,1.466666698455811,10017 127,ad,bixessarri,Bixessarri,06,42.483333587646484,1.466666698455811,10018 127,ad,bixisarri,Bixisarri,06,42.483333587646484,1.466666698455811,10019 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/256930-select-distinct-coordinate/#findComment-1317182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
