Geofield Simplesearch creates a block where users can search for citiy and locations (it uses google apis).
If the place is found, then user is redirected with a SEO friendly URL to a page.
example: places/ney_york
You can create a view (with views module) and use Geofield Simplesearch proximity argument to capture data and filter nodes.
This module is an alternative to search-api modules.
