Yes, sure. What I mean is I have different pre-loaded locations
(restaurants, hotels, etc. ) already stored with their lon/lat
on the phone's database, and I'd like to show all of them which are in the
range of, let's say, 20 blocks
near the user's current location.

I hope I was clearer this time.

Thanks for your help!
