Ron,
I am not sure if that works at all. I never fetched using methods that are not
part of the database as a qualifier. Your code has to be very slow because it
would need to fetch all Photos and then call distanceFromLatitude:longitude: on
each.
Why not qualify directly using a bounding rect?
latitude > inLatitude - 0.1 && latitude < inLatitude + 0.1 &&
longitude > inLongitude - 0.1 && longitude < inLongitude + 0.1
The database can figure that out very fast.
