Databricks Spatial SQL - examples and tutorials?

[AnneEst]

Hello,
I recently learned about Databricks being now able to handle geospatial data. With my background in geospatial, that got me curious for sure 🤓

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 😊

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/introducing-spatial-sql-databricks-80-functions-high-performance-geo...

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 .
