What happens if you use location field and a GEOLOCATION value?

What is a geolocation field?

Geolocation fields are compound fields that combine latitude and longitude values to describe a specific point on Earth. Null values are valid only if both latitude and longitude are null.

What is location based SOQL?

Location-based SOQL queries let you compare and query location values stored in Salesforce. You can calculate the distance between two location values, such as between a warehouse and a store. Or you can calculate the distance between a location value and fixed latitude-longitude coordinates, such as between a warehouse and 37.775°, -122.418°—also known as San Francisco.

What is the distance function?

The DISTANCE function approximates the haversine, or “great circle,” distance calculation within 0.0002%. This formula assumes that the Earth is a perfect sphere, when in fact it’s an ellipsoid: an irregular one. Errors from this assumption can be up to 0.55% crossing the equator, but are usually below 0.3%, depending on latitude and direction of travel.

Can error cause location query to include or exclude expected locations?

Although the errors are small for nearly identical distances, the errors can cause a location query to include or exclude expected locations. If your application requires precise distance calculations and comparisons, we recommend that you do your own math.

Does Apex bind support units?

Apex bind variables aren’t supported for the units parameter in the DISTANCE function. This query doesn’t work.
