Answer 1

Did you try whereWithinKilometers, whereWithinMiles or whereWithinRadians

Check on the ParseQuery in the right menu.

You code will look like something like:

ParseGeoPoint userLocation = (ParseGeoPoint) userObject.get("location");
ParseQuery query = new ParseQuery("PlaceObject");
query.whereWithinKilometers("location", userLocation);
query.findInBackground(new FindCallback() { ... });
