I am working on a project where I need to return all zip codes within a given radius of another zip code, user will provide zip code and search radius I would like to return all the postal codes within that radius. Has anyone done anything similar like this and wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction?
I would probably do it like this: - user selects area that is used as a base geometry - user gives radius - Create buffer from base geometry by radius (using ie. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/buffer.html) - Use buffered geometry to get other ZIP code areas from the service by using it as a filter
