RE: st: Identify Neighbor Regions with Latitudes and Longitudes

Hello, Brendan,
Thanks a lot for replaying. With distance matrix, I am not quite understand how to figure up which cities are the neighbor cities for a particular cities. Are you talking about the nearest city? I need all the adjoining cities for each one. Some of my friends suggest me to read the map. Map maybe helpful when I look at the state levels, but not city levels. With 300 cities, the job is just huge.
