I want to create a polygon from a point and a radius.
For example, I want to be able to give a point (latitude, longitude) with a given radius (ex. 10km) and calculate the circle and store it as polygon.
The goal is to be able to query my application with points and ask it if the given point is within a given radius of another point.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong, if there is a simplier way to achieve this I’d be glad to ear about it.
Thanks
I do not see why you need a circle. given two points you can use geopy to calculate distances : http://code.google.com/p/geopy/wiki/GettingStarted#Calculating_distances
an almost identical question: Django model property geo distance
