Find nearby postcode with a base postcode
This is with reference to this question: Find UK PostCodes closest to other UK Post Codes by matching the Post Code String
--User wants to get all postcodes nearby B193SH
-- Postcode = 'B193SH开发者_如何学C'
-- Latitude = 52.488460
-- Longitude = -1.895690
SELECT [HouseNumber],
[Street],
[Area],
[PostCode],
[Latitude],
[Longitude],
FROM [dbo].[Address]
WHERE ([Latitude] BETWEEN ( 52.488460 - 0.100000 ) AND ( 52.488460 + 0.100000 )) AND
([Longitude] BETWEEN ( -1.895690 - 0.100000 ) AND ( -1.895690 + 0.100000 ))
ORDER BY [PostCode]
GO
Executing this query, i get a couple of results. But the question stands that what difference (meters/miles) does a +/- 0.100000 to Lat/Lon makes?
Should I try to find close postcodes by using the first three letter of the base postcode, i.e., 'B19'?
Please see the reference question for a full detail of my scenerio.
Thanks!
Given the approximate radius of the Earth being 6378.1 km.
Latitude (and longitude, when along equator)
2 * pi * 6378.1 * 0.1 / 360 = 11.1319 km (4 d.p.)
Longitude when along x degrees north or south
For example, when at 50 degrees north:
2 * pi * 6378.1 * cos(50) * 0.1 / 360 = 7.1554 km (4 d.p.)
