You can use Twitter Search API to filter or limit the GEO location. within range from 1 to 1000 in units of mi or km
near:"San Francisco" within:1000mi Twitter search string http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=37.775196,-122.419204,1000.0mi&q=+near:%22San+Francisco%22+within:1000mi You can see it use geocode latitude and longitude, use near filter for places and use within filter as diameter range. You can use string to construct your search query to adjust your search results. I have used this several times in a few mobile apps. It works well.
