Hello, I doubt that Formidable will be able to do what I'm asking for but I'll try asking my questions anyway.

We work with freelancers across the country who drives to where ever they need to be in person when taking on an assignment. Freelancers will generally accept assignments that are within their neighborhood and is less than an hour drive one way from their place of residency.

It is an overkill to create a list of all possible municipalities across the country (5000+ in Canada). However I do wonder if I requested freelancer for their postal/zip code, Google Maps will automatically pull the name of the home municipality and all surrounding municipalities/districts within an hour drive from their place? I'd like this automated listing to be presented to the freelancer to select the name of municipalities that they're willing to drive to to provide their service. Any idea on how to get start on this? All data gathered can be saved to Formidable database.

Thanks,

Devin
