I'm trying to find out a way to get latitude and longitude bounds from google's routeboxer to php and then query mysql by those limits. I'll then output the results to json or xml to use those with android maps api v2. I found this http://luktek.com/Blog/2011-02-03-google-maps-routeboxer-in-php , but I think that this only does boxes between two points on a map, not boxes around the route itself which makes it not accurate enough. Using javascript is not an option, since I can't use it with google maps api or get the results from my database. Is there any way to accomplish this by using some server side code (preferably PHP, but any other language that works with mysql can be used as well), that can fetch the bounds, query mysql by those and output the data to json or xml so that it can be parsed by android?
