Simple Use Case
- User types an address into a search box, which returns lat/long information for the address.
- The information returned from the geocoder is used to complete other fields on the node.
- The node displays the address as a point on a map.
- The fields from the nodes containing the lat/long field are retrieved by a views query that can be filtered and sorted by distance via an exposed filter.
Currently uses Openlayers CCK, Openlayers Geocoder, & Openlayers Proximity.
Wish List
Would like to be able to get driving directions from a user entered point to the point on the node.

I saw TODO create wiki page
I saw TODO create wiki page under Use Cases on zolo's Drupal Geo Stack Wiki. Now I see there is already a Geo Use Cases wiki, so maybe I'm off base here. If so please feel free to change this or even delete entirely..
I should have clarified
My TODO on the wiki page was meant for a new page, as we are looking for general geospatial use cases, not specific to the Geo module.

actually...
Actually looking at that page, it does cover more than the Geo module. I would aim to clean that page up, instead of starting of a new one. My bad.
