It offers the features and firepower you need to take on nearly any geodata task. PostGIS lets you create location-aware queries with a few lines of SQL code, then build the backend for mapping, raster analysis, or routing application with minimal effort.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAbout the book\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePostGIS in Action, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to solve real-world geodata problems.
