Adding location proximity with fuzzy match. #17

We all have encountered that many time dealing with point data like poi , admin points from multiple sources have duplicates. To append them with existing data we have two challenges geom and name could be slightly different.

So we need fuzzy and distance proximity at the same time.

Currently most people use postgis or python queries to find duplicates but i haven't come accross a tool which can achieve such results.

If needed i would provide you with python script to do the task but have no idea how it works in a plugin. Happy to help .

Nice idea. Could you show us the Python implementation (even outside of the plugin for now) and perhaps some examples?
