Geospatial

Points, lines, shapes and the coordinates and map features built from them.

Topics

The geospatial types hold places and shapes on the Earth: a point, a line, a polygon, a bounding box, a circle, a map tile.

Type	What it is
`Point`	A position on Earth: its latitude, its longitude and, if you know it, its height.
`Latitude`	Degrees north of the equator, from -90 to 90: `51.5072`.
`Longitude`	Degrees east of the prime meridian, from -180 to 180: `-0.1276`.
`LineString`	A path of two points or more, in order.
`Polygon`	An area on a map, with any holes it has.
`MultiPoint`	A set of points, at least one, that belong together.
`MultiLineString`	Several paths, at least one, that belong together.
`MultiPolygon`	Several areas, at least one, that belong together.
`Geometry`	Any one of the six shapes: a point, a path, an area or a set of any of those.
`BoundingBox`	A rectangle on a map, given by its four sides.
`Circle`	A centre and a distance around it.
`Bearing`	A compass direction: degrees clockwise from true north, from 0 to 360.
`Crs`	A coordinate reference system, by its EPSG code: `EPSG:27700`.
`EastingNorthing`	Map coordinates on a projected grid: an easting, a northing and which grid.
`MapTile`	One square of a web map at one zoom level: `10/511/340`.
`H3Cell`	A cell of Uber's H3 grid of hexagons, as 15 hexadecimal digits: `8928308280fffff`.
`Geohash`	A rectangle on Earth, as up to 12 letters and digits: `gcpvj0duq`.
`Feature`	A shape with your own data attached, in GeoJSON's form, as a map library takes one.
`FeatureCollection`	A list of features, all with the same shape and properties types, as a map layer.
