To calculate distances in meters over positions in degreees, define a "geography" field instead of a "geometry" one: http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ST_Distance.html The BBOX optimization still applies, unless you used "ST_DWithin": http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-2.0/ST_DWithin.html Oscar- -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
