This is the distance between the locations demarcated by the edges of the
screen. For longitude it's the distance between the locations at the left
and right edges of the screen. For latitude it's the distance between the
locations at the top and bottom of the screen.

how would I calculate if a given

You have the mapview's current center location, yes?
You have the longitude and latitude spans, yes?
With that you can get 2 GeoPoints that represent the min and max points of
the view. (center +/- (span / 2))
With that you can check if a given GeoPoint lies within that min and max.
