Spatial Query API

geoQUERY fully leverages the scalability, flexibility and optimizations provided by the geoMANAGEMENT platform. Below are a few examples of how our technology can help you answer difficult questions.

Point-In-Bounds aka. "Contains" Query
If you want to know what neighborhood, zip code area, political boundary, police beat, state (or for whatever boundary data you have) contains a point (for example a user's home, or an event location) geoQUERY can find your answer. And more importantly it can find that answer in milliseconds even when comparing complex shapes with billions of vertices.

Radius Search Query
When doing a radius search on complex shapes, geoQUERY allows you to do more than just compare distances between center points of a series of shapes, it can tell you if any segment of a shape boundary or line is within range.

More Queries
No matter the questions you need answered, or the size of the data set, let GeoAMP provide a solution for you. And if we don't have what you need yet, let us know what it is and we'll build it for you.

High Level Features:

• Millisecond response times on most queries even on complex shapes of millions of vertices.
• Load Balanced server farm designed for high-volume implementations.
• Batch processing available for optimal performance on large sets of queries.
• Run complex queries in real-time or schedule a service to run them and cache the results locally.
• Simple XML responses with code samples for making requests and parsing responses.
• Supports most of the common spatial functions including radius searches, nearest neighbor, intersections, contains and touches query functions.
• Set up custom queries to suit the specific needs of your application.
• Get professional services and implementation from GeoAMP starting at $90/hr

SPACIAL FUNCTIONS

Radius Search

Given a Lat, Long coordinate, all shapes or features within a given radius are returned. Shapes are returned in order of proximity to coordinate, and are flagged if the given shape contains the coordinate.

Point-In-Bounds

Given a Lat, Long coordinate, all shapes, or the top-most shape in the data set are returned.

Intersection Search

Given a series of vertices, or a handle to an existing shape in your dataset, all shapes intersecting, overlapping, or contained in the given shape are returned.

Nearest Neighbor

Given a Lat, Long coordinate, or a handle to an existing shape in your dataset, the nearest shape is returned.

Custom Query

Define your own limiting factors using the geoMANAGEMENT API, or work with a GeoAMP consultant to develop a unique query.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES and CONSULTING
Our consulting rates start at $90/hr depending on the size and complexity of the project. Our consultants are all experienced with GIS related challenges, most web programming languages, and how to plan and implement a GIS strategy to suit your specific needs. Our consultants and developers are all U.S. based and would be happy to help with your project. Learn more about how GeoAMP consultants can help with your GIS needs.
