Description
MySQL >=5.6.1 support accurate spatial functions, a.k.a, ST_ functions. Django 1.11 still uses MySQL's old MBR (minimum bounding rectangle) functions.
I am willing to migrate my patch for django 1.9.2 to django 1.11 and create a pull request.
Here is an elaborated article on the advantages of the new MySQL's ST_ functions.
