Hello,
I recently learned about Databricks being now able to handle geospatial data. With my background in geospatial, that got me curious for sure š¤
I was wondering if anybody has used examples, maybe a tutorial, to learn about geospatial in databricks, how it works, what you can do with it. Some geospatial analysis for example, maybe involving point data and a simple but nice map background since I only have access to the free version of databricks at the moment.
So if you have a repo to recommend, I would be happy to know about it.
Thanks a lot in advance,
cheers š

HI @AnneEst
I havent played around with spatial data but if I had to i would start with these two blogs .
https://www.databricks.com/blog/2022/05/02/high-scale-geospatial-processing-with-mosaic.html
You can ask claude or cursor to understand these blogs and create example script for you to understand how it works with databricks .

Iām also interested in how Spatial SQL can be used with real-world location data, especially for creating simple map-based examples. The combination of SQL and geospatial analysis seems really useful for beginners. Starting with a small point dataset and gradually adding spatial functions sounds like a great way to learn.
