Hi!
Are the distances available somehow? I.e., the
distances between the
wikibase:center and the searched locations?
There is a distance function - see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/User_Manual#Distance_…
- and there also soon will be a way to retrieve distances when searching
around point - right now they are recalculated and this is a waste since
the search already knows the distance, but in current version it
discards it.
There's a slight bug in current version (see the example above for the
workaround - the hint to disable analytic mode is required in some
situations) - that's why it was not announced yet.
But for many applications geof:distance already works. The rest will be
implemented an announced soon, probably sometime next week or week after
that.
