For each user you can do something along the lines of:

```plaintext
myUser = User.find_by(username_lower: '<username>')

```

then

```plaintext
userLocation = JSON.parse(myUser.custom_fields[:geo_location])

```

then

```plaintext
userLatitude = userLocation.['lat']

```

on the rails console … etc.
