GPS Location - hillericsteven - Mar-16-2020
I have a program that gathers GPS location data and I would like to be able to find the nearest x to that location. For example given coordinates [x.xxxx, -x.xxxx] find the address of the nearest Walmart or something along those lines. Is that something that's possible to do?

Most stores (of any size) have an api to get loction, for walmart it's: https://developer.walmartlabs.com/docs/read/Store_Locator_API
you can also find a place using: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search#FindPlaceRequests
