Using property with geocode in record filters/range filters

Question

Hi All
We have created a property called "Location" with data type as "Geocode" and we are able to use the same in sorting.And ,this will generate two dynamic properties by name "Kilometers_to_Location and "Miles_to_location".Is there a way to use these dynamic properties in our record filters or range filters?We have requirement to filter products based on say within 100 kms, 1000kms from the user's location and not just sort based on this.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.
Regards

Hi Shreyas,
Does this help:

Quoting from the link above:
Geocode filters
When used with a standard attribute of type geocode, the EQL DISTANCE function indicates a filter based on the distance of that geocode attribute from a given reference point.
The DISTANCE function returns the distance (in kilometers) between two geocodes. The syntax for DISTANCE is:
DISTANCE(geoAttribute, TO_GEOCODE(latitude,longtitude))
where
geoAttribute
is a standard attribute of type geocode. The
TO_GEOCODE
function creates a geocode from a given latitude and longitude pair, both of which must be of type double:
The latitude of the location is specified in whole and fractional degrees (positive values indicate north latitude, and negative values indicate south latitude).
The longitude of the location in whole and fractional degrees (positive values indicate east longitude, and negative values indicate west longitude).
Note that distance limits in geocode filters are always expressed in kilometers. The records are filtered by the distance from the geocode reference point to the latitude/longitude pair.
