I have this script that will show custom markers on a google map, but I would like to include a input text-box and be able to enter a city/state and a zip-code and see if there are any markers within lets say 400 miles from that city/state or zip-code. I would love it if the map can be dynamic so as you type out the city/state or zip-code it will show the results on the map by getting rid of all the other markers and leaving only the one that is within that radius, if that is too hard then a simple alter box saying what unit is the closest will also be OK :) I searched and found some say that I should load the geometry library and use computeDistanceBetween() to find the distance of each marker from your center point but I have no idea how to do the zip-code part or how to put all of this together to work.

Reset to default 10Here is a working example.
The example uses all_locations - array of example locations.
You can replace that with your locations (e.g. locations you fetch from your DB). You can insert any address to the input bar, e.g. '123 New Street, New York, 56789, NY' and using google.maps.Geocoder the code will geocode that map into LatLng location around which it will draw a radius. Only locations that fall within the radius around the address will show on map. To see the example locations, input "Second Steet, New York" as address.
var map = null;
var radius_circle;
var markers_on_map = [];
var geocoder;
var infowindow;
//all_locations is just a sample, you will probably load those from database
var all_locations = [
{type: "Restaurant", name: "Restaurant 1", lat: 40.723080, lng: -73.984340},
{type: "School", name: "School 1", lat: 40.724705, lng: -73.986611},
{type: "School", name: "School 2", lat: 40.724165, lng: -73.983883},
{type: "Restaurant", name: "Restaurant 2", lat: 40.721819, lng: -73.991358},

</html>Here is an example of how you could solve this with the geocoding API and some simple geometry.
(Note that I have hardcoded the address and radius for brevity.)
// we assume that you have an array of markers
var markers = [];
//In order to lookup the the position of a zip-code you can use the geocoding API:
// https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/
var geocode_api_base_url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?";

Circle'sradiusproperty is actually always in meters. So if your getting your user input in miles, you'll need to convert it to meters and then set theradius. It would bevar radius = parseInt(document.getElementById('radius').value, 10) * 1609.34;. – Suvi Vignarajah Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 15:34setCenterdoesn't work because you cannot pass in numeric values into that method, it must be thegoogle.maps.LatLngobject -map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(39.8282, -98.5795));. – Suvi Vignarajah Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 16:51setCenter, it's with thesetZoom. Seems like themarkerclustererdoesn't redraw when you set the zoom to the same zoom level. A quick fix would be to check to see if you are already at the initial zoom level, if so don't bother setting it, else set it back to initial zoom.if (map.getZoom() != 4) map.setZoom(4);– Suvi Vignarajah Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 16:54
