HIGHLIGHT
The first book about PostGIS, a lightweight, open source tool that adds
geographic support to the popular PostgreSQL database. PostGIS is
used to develop location-based services.
DESCRIPTION
From mobile phone usage to online shopping and every application in
between, location is an incredibly important piece of data. PostGIS is a
high-caliber, open source tool that allows developers to take location
information and make it actionable.
PostGIS in Action will help both new and experienced database users
solve location-related problems. For those with experience in more

and mapping data. This tutorial includes discussion and examples of
many real-world uses.
