# Geospatial

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

## Topics

| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [Geospatial types](/docs/geospatial-types.md) | The geospatial types hold places and shapes on the Earth: a point, a line, a polygon, a bounding box, a circle, a map tile. |

## Types

| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| [`Point`](/docs/types/type-point.md) | A position on Earth: its latitude, its longitude and, if you know it, its height. |
| [`Latitude`](/docs/types/type-latitude.md) | Degrees north of the equator, from -90 to 90: `51.5072`. |
| [`Longitude`](/docs/types/type-longitude.md) | Degrees east of the prime meridian, from -180 to 180: `-0.1276`. |
| [`LineString`](/docs/types/type-line-string.md) | A path of two points or more, in order. |
| [`Polygon`](/docs/types/type-polygon.md) | An area on a map, with any holes it has. |
| [`MultiPoint`](/docs/types/type-multi-point.md) | A set of points, at least one, that belong together. |
| [`MultiLineString`](/docs/types/type-multi-line-string.md) | Several paths, at least one, that belong together. |
| [`MultiPolygon`](/docs/types/type-multi-polygon.md) | Several areas, at least one, that belong together. |
| [`Geometry`](/docs/types/type-geometry.md) | Any one of the six shapes: a point, a path, an area or a set of any of those. |
| [`BoundingBox`](/docs/types/type-bounding-box.md) | A rectangle on a map, given by its four sides. |
| [`Circle`](/docs/types/type-circle.md) | A centre and a distance around it. |
| [`Bearing`](/docs/types/type-bearing.md) | A compass direction: degrees clockwise from true north, from 0 to 360. |
| [`Crs`](/docs/types/type-crs.md) | A coordinate reference system, by its EPSG code: `EPSG:27700`. |
| [`EastingNorthing`](/docs/types/type-easting-northing.md) | Map coordinates on a projected grid: an easting, a northing and which grid. |
| [`MapTile`](/docs/types/type-map-tile.md) | One square of a web map at one zoom level: `10/511/340`. |
| [`H3Cell`](/docs/types/type-h3-cell.md) | A cell of Uber's H3 grid of hexagons, as 15 hexadecimal digits: `8928308280fffff`. |
| [`Geohash`](/docs/types/type-geohash.md) | A rectangle on Earth, as up to 12 letters and digits: `gcpvj0duq`. |
| [`Feature`](/docs/types/type-feature.md) | A shape with your own data attached, in GeoJSON's form, as a map library takes one. |
| [`FeatureCollection`](/docs/types/type-feature-collection.md) | A list of features, all with the same shape and properties types, as a map layer. |
