Proximity queries don't work well near boundaries

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. search for wausau (near minneapolis, approximately lat 45, long -90)
2. zoom out progressively

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The same schools should be shown (or nearly the same)
- Instead, they vary wildly

I don't know whether the bounding box query suffers from the same problem

I meant on http://geomodel-demo.appspot.com/ of course

So one thing I haven't yet documented about the new PubSchools demo is that 
bounding
box queries (the default for non-address searches) are ordered by enrollment 
and only
the top 25 results are shown.

Could this be what you're running into? To tell whether a radius query or 
bounding
box query is being performed, just check to see if a red arrow icon shows up 
and if
the markers are marked with letters. If so, then it's a proximity query, 
otherwise
it's a bounding box query.

Pending further discussion, I believe this is working as intended--only the top
schools are shown. It may be worth it in the future to consider how to cluster 
entities.
