body: <p>I  would like to create an accurate buffer of 5 miles around a coordinate, my current code is:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>cpr_gdf['p_buffer']=cpr_gdf['coordinates'].buffer(5*(1/60))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The coordinates column was created with this code:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>cpr_df['coordinates']=list(zip(cpr_df.sample_longitude_decimal,cpr_df.sample_latitude_decimal))
  cpr_df['coordinates']=cpr_df['coordinates'].apply(Point)
  cpr_gdf=gpd.GeoDataFrame(cpr_df,geometry='coordinates',crs={'init' :'epsg:4326'})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help!</p>
