Ohh, every geo join/spatial thing with picture that consists of those small cells over map is such pet peeve of mine. Facebook marketplace, craigslist, tinder, any app with “proximity search”.

No, this city isn’t 4 miles from my city. There is a literal lake between us. It’s 10+ miles.

Please, invent something, do precompute, but just avoid naive-ish searches.
