# MapLocationDistance Criterion

The [`MapLocationDistance` Search Criterion](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/api/php_api/php_api_reference/classes/Ibexa-Contracts-Core-Repository-Values-Content-Query-Criterion-MapLocationDistance.html) searches content based on the distance between the location contained in a MapLocation field and the provided coordinates.

## Arguments

- `target` - string representing the field definition identifier
- `operator` - Operator constant (IN, EQ, GT, GTE, LT, LTE, BETWEEN)
- `distance` - float(s) representing the distances between the map location in the field and the location provided in `latitude` and `longitude` arguments
- `latitude` - float representing the latitude of the location to calculate distance to
- `longitude` - float representing the longitude of the location to calculate distance to

The `distance` argument requires:

- a list of floats for `Operator::IN` or `Operator::BETWEEN`
- a single float for other Operators

## Limitations

The `MapLocationDistance` Criterion isn't available in [Repository filtering](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/search/search_api/#repository-filtering).

## Example

### PHP

```
$query->query = new Criterion\MapLocationDistance('location', Criterion\Operator::LTE, 5, 51.395973, 22.531696);
```
