I can't suggest Postgres with the GIS tools enough.

Though it is a huge pain a lot of the time, it really is great and it avoids this whole world being flat issue.

I've also used rethinkdb to do some simple geo related queries and am investigating using redis for really basic stuff. (3.0 adds basic geohashing but I'm pretty sure it's actually going to run into the same issue you did here based on how geohashing algorithms divide space)
