Location Search via Taxonomy, possible G-Map integration [#374990]

I feel that a feature for location that would really add to its views functionality would be a taxonomy view. For example:

User x visits homepage of example.com. Available to user x is a G-Map. Here, user x clicks on an area, and depending on the administrative settings between 5 and 250 miles all of the available taxonomy terms for taxonomy y (or multiple taxonomies) show up. User x clicks on taxonomy y, and the view brings all available nodes (and/or other options for taxonomies and terms) to user x.

There are a few websites that have a similar but not nearly as robust functionality available, and again I feel this would be a very unique approach for a location view.

I had to hack taxonomy into location.views.inc around line 390. This let me expose a taxonomy filter. This will probably break things because I only tested with node locations, not user locations or anything like that (i.e. WFM). This isn't really what you want, but I was looking for something similar.

  $data['term_node']['table']['join']['location'] = array(
    'left_table' => 'location_instance',
    'left_field' => 'vid',
    'field' => 'vid'
  );

Also, this may relate more to #318215: Filter map to show single taxonomy or single content type?
