How can I specify which location type address to use for a proximity search

Question

I collect both home and work address data for contacts. I assume - although I've not yet tested it - that the default location type is used when a proximity search is carried out.

I have work address set as my default, but want to do a proximity search based on home address.

Anyone know if this can be done, and if so how?

If you're on Drupal you can do this via views (where you have full control over which field types you pull in).

Here's a good example: Views Proximity Search on Latitude / Longitude
