[postgis-users] meters to degrees

[Mike Toews]

You are using EPSG:3044, correct? http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3044/

<http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3044/>This projection has units of
metres. ST_DWithin and related functions use the same units of length as
defined in the projection, which in this case is metres, not degrees. You
may need to elaborate with an example.
