Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
 g <- an_read(cache = "session")

 ## named features within 10km of 110E, 66S
 an_near(g, loc = c(110, -66), max_distance = 10)

 ## using pipe operator
 g %>% an_near(loc = c(100, -66), max_distance = 10)

 ## with sp objects
 gsp <- an_read(cache = "session", sp = TRUE)
 loc <- sp::SpatialPoints(matrix(c(110, -66), nrow = 1),
   proj4string = CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84"))
 an_near(gsp, loc = loc, max_distance = 10)
