Hello,
Perhaps my questions were addressed earlier or in some documentation I
missed. If so, I apologize in advance as I am completely new to GIS and
PostGIS. Judging from the documentation I have read, my needs are
extremely simple vs PostGIS capabilities however I am unsure if the
functionality of what I want actually exists.
I deal with areas in the US, territories that are regional in nature but
not bounded by common things eg state lines, water ways, counties, etc.
They are irregular shapes of varying land area. I also have sets of
latitude and longitude points. I would like some type of system where I
enter in a perimeter of territories, and find out whether a particular
latitude and longitude point lies within that perimeter.
My understanding of this is that I would need to either manually create
a GML type file with the perimeters in it, or use some type of map
authoring software to accomplish this goal. Are my understandings
correct and if so is there a recommendation for a particular piece of
software which can fulfill this?
Also, are the libraries/functions available for determining whether a
point is in a perimeter?
Much appreciated,
