Does anyone know of a way to utilize the location module to conduct proximity searches internationally, based on some criteria other than Zip codes?

In particular, I have a series of classified ads that each have a unique location; it would be helpful to sort these posts using a proximity filter in Views on a global basis, rather than just limited to those in the US, UK and a handful of other countries that have available zipcode data.

Thank you!

I think the proximity will do this search if the location is geo-coded and uses lat/long. Try this in the newest version and post back if it does not work.

ps. When people say proximity search they are talking about the Views proximity view filter, right? Tagging.

Closing this, if you are still having trouble just post back.
