PostGIS: Advanced GIS for PostgreSQL

PostGIS is the gold standard for GIS data. It is an extension of PostgreSQL and adds data types such as geometry and geography which are optimized for spatial data. That makes PostGIS the most powerful tool available for mapping and processing GIS data.

What is PostGIS?

Using PostGIS is free and the entire package is available as Open Source software. Precompiled packages are available for all commonly used Linux distributions, and can be downloaded from official PostgreSQL repositories.

The following core features are provided by PostGIS:

geometric processing (= calculations assuming a flat surface)
geographic processing (= spheric calculations)
raster processing and analysis in the database (= matrix calculations)
3D surface and volume support
topological functions
geocoding and address standardization
tooling to load and process data

PostGIS implements a variety of GIS standards and offers rich functionality to process geometric data:

Simple Features for SQL (SFSQL)
SQL Multimedia and Application Packages Part 3: Spatial (IOS/IEC 13249-3)
Geographic JSON (GeoJSON)
Georeferenced Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF)
Geography Markup Language (GML)
Keyhole Markup Language (KML)
Mapbox Vector Tile Specification (MVT)
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
Well-Known Binary (WKB)
Well-Known Text (WKT)

PostGIS has been successfully adopted by some of the biggest players in the industry.
