@eapen Just in case if you haven't noticed, the coordinates are captured as text and I went through the data set, so it contains google maps URLs and even handwritten text.
The first step would be to clean up that data and run migration to convert to (lat,lon) coordinates.
Subject of the issue
Add the PostGIS extension to Postgres which will allow you to create geospatial indexes which will speed up lat/lng + radius queries
Your environment
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-extensions-postgis-full-text-search#postgis
Steps to reproduce
This will likely have to be done via CLI and can be verified on a spare instance first
Expected behaviour
Will speed up queries and enable better location-based searches I believe the current plan is to use text-based indexes which will be much less efficient
