Find a range of longitude given a center point.

This is useful when you have a center point and want to find a range to
query against a set. For example, you want to find all the businesses to
display on the glowing rectangle (mobile device) given a center point and
radius.

Note, this are just quickly calculated estimates.

@param float $distance
The distance in meters from the center point to calculate.

@return array
An array with the two bounding values (floats) for the range.
