Proximity Web Service overview

You can use the Proximity Web Service to find all points of interest (POI) locations within a distance you define for a specified point or line (for example, find all POIs within five miles of x,y) or determine the nearest specified number of POI locations to a specified point or line (such as find nearest three POIs to x,y).

The Proximity Web Service offers the following capabilities:

• Find nearest features.
• Find features within a specified radius.
• Return list and related information of found features.
