<br>
I'm a newbie on PostGIS and GIS in general.<br>
<br>
Reading section "Taking Advantages of Indexes" at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#id2638955">http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#id2638955</a><br>
<br>
... I became confused regarding how I could retrieve points which
are distant up to 500 meters from a given point.<br>
The question is actually how I can transform 500 meters onto some
some other figure on a unit I don't understand very well what it
is about. I need this calculation in order to determine a Box3d
like the article suggests.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot and regards,<br>
