Just use Lat/Lon. You can fidget over which ojection to use later as long as
your data is good. (WGS84 is the best btw)
I agree lat long sounds beautiful to me! Well thats good.
For geolocation, you can use the HTML5 Geolocation API that will use the
person's browser to give you a location us
I absolutely agree! That sounds like a much better way to install postgis and

So wait,
Does UTM have to do with the timezones in the USA? Do some of the lines match
to tomezone lines? You also never really answered my question before. Sure it

I think most standard databases can do that (mysql, postgresql, sqlite,

By UTM do you mean Universal Transverse Mercator?

So heres my goal:
The user logins in and goes to a discover page. They enter a distance from
their location as the requested results scope. Lets say 25 miles from where
