#8 Ability to find black spots around a coordinate

[Alberto Silva]

Thinking about people using mobile devices to find and upload information about black spots, there should be a method on the WEB API that would return the list of waypoints on a given range of a GPS coordinate, to check if the black spot has been already added to the main list, to avoid addind noise to the list. In a perfect world, no 'new' black spots would be allowed in a range of x hundreds of meters of a already added point, instead of a single uniqueidentifier, the 'NewBlackSpot ' Web API method would return a list of uniqueidentifiers, then the client app would query the service for details for each of them and present them to the user, so he checks if the new black spot he his trying to add is one of the returned by the service.
I'm not sure about which database is being used at the server side, and if it has support for spacial data types and functions, but to make things easier, instead of implementing 'circular' areas around a point, 'rectangular' areas could be considered.

Sorry if this not the proper way to request features, I'm considering to make my contribute on a mobile app (Windows Mobile) but IMHO, this feature would turn the mobile apps even more useful.
