s2-geometry-spatial-indexing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of efficiently indexing and querying vast amounts of geospatial data on a sphere, enabling fast location-based searches and analyses.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Spherical Geometry: Works directly on the sphere without projection distortions.
• Hierarchical Indexing: Uses a 30-level cell hierarchy for multi-resolution data.
• Locality Preservation: Employs Hilbert curves to ensure nearby points have nearby index values.
• Use Case: Building a ride-sharing app that needs to find all available drivers within a 5km radius of a user's current location in real-time.

Quick Start

Use the s2-geometry skill to find all cells within level 16 that cover the bounding box defined by coordinates (37.7, -122.5) and (37.8, -122.4).
