We're currently using the geosearch feature from GeoData for the nearby view. It has a default radius limit of 10000m. That limit might be there for no hard reason though and we might be able to push it to whatever seems reasonable.
- Wait for the Kartographer / Geosearch changes to be deployed

- Both are on the 1.39.0-wmf.12 branch, which is on group0 as of May 17.

Enable the feature flag on the test server (TBD) $wgKartographerNearby = true; -
Set the radius limit on the test server to some very high number $wgMaxGeoSearchRadius = 25000000; - Test the feature with different radius and limits and check the duration of the query requests. See query here: P28508
