What is the unit for the $maxDistance parameter on geo based queries? I'm using the following math but I'm not sure if it's right:



metersToMiles = 0.000621371;

maxDistance = radiusInKilometers * 1000 * metersToMiles / 3963.192;



For example, for a radius of 15km the query body is the following:



{"_geoloc":{"$nearSphere":[-46.683750199999999,-23.594244364991852],"$maxDistance":0.0023517822846770287}}



any help?

thanks

When using the iOS library (or the REST API) specify maxDistance in miles. When using business logic, such as with a collection hook, the maxDistance is specified in radians. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3878702/mongodb-bound-queries-how-do-i-convert-mile-to-radian might be helpful)

Hi Michael! I'm using both collection hook and iOS Framework

Neto, are you using the REST API or this with business logic?
