Hello, I have an application built on AppSheet that is linked to a Google Sheet containing leads’ information such as names, locations, zip codes, states, and more. The main function of this app is to showcase nearby users retrieved from the Google Sheet. For example, if I’m in New York, it displays users within a 15-kilometer radius, leveraging latitude and longitude coordinates to determine proximity.

My question is, “Is it feasible to replicate this functionality on Glide Apps? If so, what are the potential methods to achieve this?”

Thank you.

Yes. In fact it works best with latitude/longitude.
