RE: [OpenMap Users] How do I dermine which country a lat/lon pt belongs to?

Store the country id as the AppObject of the OMGraphic maybe? Then when
it's clicked, grab the app id and look it up in your database.

Subject: [OpenMap Users] How do I dermine which country a lat/lon pt
belongs to?

Hello,

I'm stuck on a problem and maybe somebody has run accross it before.

I wrote a layer that extends AreaShapeLayer to do custom shading of
countries based upon a database query. This works really well. I saw
the example on the list archives about time zone shading and did
something similar.

Now I want want to be able specify a lat/lon (like if a user clicks the
map) and determine which country that polygon belongs to. Any idea how
to do the reverse lookup?

Thanks,
