The fundamental problem is that CouchDB indexes are 1-dimensional. Essentially a sorted list. You can pull out every point between 2 lines of longitude. You can pull out every point between 2 lines of latitude. But when you need points within a bounding box, you have to pull out all of the above, and intersect them in your application. (There are some optimizations you do, but fundamentally, this is the issue.) This general problem is addressed with geo indexers. You might want to take a look at this one for Couch: http://vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog/index.cgi/geocouch-new-release-0.10.0:2009-09-19:en,CouchDB,Python,geo Chris > For example, I have a coordinate system that have 10:10(meaning from x_axis > -10 to 10 and from y_axis -10 to 10) and I want to display only 49 > coordinates.
