… unfortunately, this seems not to have made it to version 2.6 just released…
Well, yes - a workaround. But it still leaves a few things for my code to do subsequently (calculating distance and sort on that). Good thing is that it seem relatively fast - at least with the few small samples I have tried yet.
@jda,
Sounds like you have the makings of an interesting, useful blog post! Maybe you could write something up and share it on hackernoon, devto, or your own personal site?
Geo-queries aren’t on our current development roadmap. I’m told that there doesn’t seem to be enough customer demand for them.
I’m curious why not? I know you may not be able to answer that, though…
One of the major facilities of a mobile is that it knows where you are… - and thus many interesting use cases where you would need to search for something related to a position…
I agree! I’m also confused why there haven’t been more requests for geo-queries.
