Creates a column identifying the coordinate system of the given geocoord column as either laton or geohash. This can be useful if you have a column of geocoordinates in both formats and you want to work with them separately. For example, you can use this operation to identify the system used, then apply a filter to isolate one type that you want to convert to the other system.

Learn more about geocoords and their types in the Geocoord (geocoord) article.

How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Geographic coordinate system operation. You only need to specify one argument:

Argument

Data type

Geocoord mandatory

geocoord

The data type of the new column is string. The result can be latlon, geohash, or null.

Note

When you apply this operation in the search window interface, Devo automatically transforms the values you enter manually in the Geocoord argument into geocoord data type.

If you choose a column, it must be a geocoord data type column. You can transform the strings in a field to geocoords creating a new column using the Geocoord (geocoord) or Latitude and longitude coordinates (latlon) operations.

The examples in this article use values in a data table generated from the following CSV file.

Ui button
titleDownload CSV file here
urlhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1OfvPMy0PoTnlMWVJEwhjJE3TjjslJTGl

If you want to try the example for yourself, download the file and upload it to your domain by clicking Data upload in the navigation panel. Name the new table my.upload.sample.data and select Current date as Date parsing type. Learn more about uploading data in Uploading log files.

After receiving the confirmation message, you can access the table from the Finder, selecting my → upload → sample → data. When you upload data from a file, all the information is included in a single column called message. To split the values into different columns, you can use the Split operation. Click Toggle Query Editor in the search window toolbar and paste the following LINQ query to save time:

from my.upload.geolocation.data
select split(message, ";", 1) as geohash_strings

(warning) The examples in this article use values in a data table generated from the following CSV file.

...

Note

As seen in the above syntaxes, you must transform the strings added as arguments to data type geocoord. You can do this by using the Geocoord (geocoord) operation.

Example

(warning) Note that you must have uploaded the following CSV file to your Devo domain as explained above to try out this example.

View file
namegeolocation_data.csv

Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.geolocation.data table.

Code Block
from my.upload.geolocation.data
select split(message, ";", 1) as geohash_strings
select geocoord(geohash_strings) as geocoords
select coordsystem(geocoords) as coord_system
