Geopoint distance function

Android
1

I have a Geopoint relation in one of my tables called “location”. I have two entries in my table
Entry one: Geopoint(lat:380570515,long:23.7510352)
Entry two: Geopoint(lat:38.0178988,long:23.7166265)

Those two points are about 2km apart, when I look them up on a map.

But when I run the distance function like so
distance( 38.0570515, 23.7510352,location.latitude,location.longitude) <= ft(100)

I get both results, while I should get only one. It seems something is wrong in the distance function, or I am doing something wrong when calling it. I have tried both in android code via api calls, and on web console and the result is the same.

Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.

Hi George,

This has been assigned to a developer for further investigation.

Hi, George. Distance function works fine. I get only one result, when I use your where clause:

distance( 38.0570515, 23.7510352,location.latitude,location.longitude) <= ft(100)

To be more specific, the distance between your points is 5.3 km (if checked in google maps).
If I specify:

distance( 38.0570515, 23.7510352,location.latitude,location.longitude) <= km(5.31)

I get 2 results, but if I specify:

distance( 38.0570515, 23.7510352,location.latitude,location.longitude) <= km(5.29)

I get only one result.

I just tried it right now, and it looks like its working. I can’t figure out why it was not working before.
You can mark this as not a problem.Sorry for the inconvenience.
