Lets make this run over CartoDB with some functions

vehrka commented 9 years ago

Hmmm asking myself which is the best approach:

Function to calculate the antipodal point
- Get a point, returns a point in the antipodes
Function to search the nearest school in BOTH datasets
- Gets a point returns the code of BOTH Schools
Function to get the distance along the surface and through the Earth
- Gets two points and returns both distances
