geo-paging-example
Example of using MongoDB's new minDistance option for paging through geo results.
Pages through search results for sidewalk cafés near your address.
(Café data from NYC Open Data.)
Read my blog post describing the technique.
Setup
Install and run a local MongoDB server, at least version 2.5.1.
(Pre-2.5.1 MongoDB versions ignore minDistance, so this paging technique won't work with them.)
Install the Python packages in requirements.txt.
Run python load_cafes.py from the project directory.
Follow the instructions to get a Google API key, and place it in a file called google_api_key.txt.
Run
Run python server.py from the project directory.
