I have developed a missing pet web site and want to add a proximity feature, in Views I am guessing.
Each node represents a pet, with users searching by geography to locate reported pets.
I have tried the Location module, ~ 30 hours, can not get proximity to work, may be zip code database issue, no firm idea.
Openlayer - can not find a tutorial but I think it can do this without a zipcode database which would be ideal, am going to keep trying with this for now
Geo - have heard it can do this, no idea how, got an install error.
Any actionable advice, especially tutorials, appreciated. Thanks.

You could try zip-table free

Had the same issue long time ago, where Long/lat were reversed. So I came up with a solution that checks location data with Gmaps and stores zip results locally.
