Question : Trying to filter a Sharepoint List

I have a sharepoint list that contains data. I have another page that pulls the data from that list and displays it graphically (on a map) via an XML feed. I'm looking for the ability to filter it with combo boxes filled with distinct data from the columns in the list (for about 10 of the 20 columns). Ideally, I'd like to use a Sharepoint view and plug in the selections of the combo boxes into the view.

Thoughts on best practice here?

Note: I'm looking to have the combo boxes on the display screen, NOT the list screen.

Answer : Trying to filter a Sharepoint List

You should create two WebParts, one with the filter criteria and one with the view.  You can then connect and filter them using the "Connections" action in the SharePoint UI.  Microsoft provides a nice tutorial on how to do this here:
