Issue Summary
I don't know if this is even possible, but i think it might be.
Views filters are shown to the user:
Country - Countrycode - Admin name - City (etc etc)
(This could be themed as a dropdown with a typing field next to it)
1) when pressing search, the filter initiates a search towards geonames that returns a lat/lon for the selected place.
2) then views, based on these coordinates, searches through locations stored in the location table.
If this is implemented in a usable way, it would be just *awesome*!

#1
yes, this would be great, any solutions to this?
#2
OpenLayers Proximity module (http://drupal.org/project/openlayers_proximity) is an exposed filter that takes and address and distance from the address in the exposed form. It then uses Google Maps API to geocode the address and returns a all the points by proximity.

I'll try it out, looks good, hope i can use it with location module as i have all destinations inputed with that module.
#4
I don't think that it works with the location module. I wish geonames would have an exposed filter that requests an address to start a proximity search with.
#5
Think it could work, here is part which should go in that direction but still doesnt work for me.

Also maybe you can try this. Dont know why is community not snyched, seems to me there are 3/4 modules doing the same thing in different ways all in some alphas/betas and seems so much time and energy will be waisted in the end, if some organization took place seems it could work better. anyway read... http://drupal.org/node/904576
