Re all,

I've found a solution which works for me. It's basically an implementation
of the Haversine function for ruby taken from here
http://www.esawdust.com/blog/gps/files/HaversineFormulaInRuby.html

There is another one I haven't tried here:
https://github.com/almartin/Ruby-Haversine

The only drawback is that I got to fetch all the db records which are
around 500 and apply haversine distance to each compared against users's
current location (which is provided by the phone).

Thanks everyone for the input! It really helped me find the right
direction, or at least reasonable.

Rama
