To implement this solution, you can use the Geolocation API and the Geocoding API provided by Google.
- To get the user's current location, you can use the Geolocation API. This will provide you with the latitude and longitude of the user's current location.
- To get the postal code of the user's current location, you can use the Geocoding API. This API can convert geographic coordinates into a human-readable address which includes the postal code.
- To find postal codes within a 25 kilometers radius of the user's current location, you can use the Geocoding API again. You can calculate the distance between the user's current location and each of the postal codes from your report definition. If the distance is less than or equal to 25 kilometers, you can include that postal code in your list.
Please note that you need to have a Google API key to use these APIs and you need to enable these APIs in your Google Developer account. Also, you need to handle the API responses and errors appropriately in your application.
