It equals or surpasses proprietary alternatives, allowing the creations of location-aware queries with just a few lines of SQL code, and provides a back-end for mapping, raster analysis, and routing applications with minimal effort.     PostGIS in Action, Second Edition teaches readers of all levels to write spatial queries that solve real-world problems.
