Technical background (Drupal 7/Drupal 8)
At the moment Geolocation stores the following values in the database:
- lat (latitude),
- lng (longitude),
- lat_sin (precalculated latitude sine),
- lat_cos (precalculated latitude cosine),
- lng_rad (precalculated radian longitude).
The precalculated values will speed up proximity SQL look ups.
