Are you looking for help?
I understand how to query for locations near me.
I am wondering if it possible to return the distance from my reference point to each resulting point in the response when using a GET request.
currently, I’m making this GET call
/data/thunkableLocations?props=distanceOnSphere('POINT(-85.66061443893842 42.375649975692355)', location) as distanceToPoint
this too
distanceOnSphere(location, 'POINT(-85.66061443893842 42.375649975692355)') as distanceToPoint
and the response returns the correct points as shown in this map from the console
but the response I get has weird distances
[{"___class":"thunkableLocations","distanceToPoint":10363.067457467047,"objectId":"1B28DBCE-1921-4A4E-AE5F-D6A48EE13482"},

[UPDATE] upon further reading, i see that distances are returned in meters. this is correct info!
Is there anyway to convert these to miles in the response body?
got it!
distanceOnSphere('POINT(-85.66061443893842 42.375649975692355)', location) * 0.000621371 as milesToPoint
