How to filter a django model with latitude and longitude coordinates that fall within a certain radius

Question

I have the following model.

class Location(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 128, blank = True)
    address =models.CharField(max_length =          


        

Answer 1

You can do range queries with filter.

LocationsNearMe = Location.objects.filter(latitude__gte=(the minimal lat from distance()),
                                          latitude__lte=(the minimal lat from distance()),
                                          (repeat for longitude))

Unfortunately, this returns results in the form of a geometric square (instead of a circle)
