He corregido un poco la fórmula.
Este funciona para mí:
CREATE TABLE lastcrawl (id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, pnt POINT NOT NULL) ENGINE=MyISAM;
INSERT
INTO lastcrawl
VALUES (1, POINT(40, -100));
SET @lat = 40;
SET @lon = -100;
SELECT *
FROM lastcrawl
WHERE MBRContains
(
LineString
(
Point
(
@lat + 10 / 111.1,
@lon + 10 / ( 111.1 / COS(RADIANS(@lat)))
),
Point (
@lat - 10 / 111.1,
@lon - 10 / ( 111.1 / COS(RADIANS(@lat)))
)
),
pnt
);
