Thread: GPS coordinates problem

GPS coordinates problem

From

Dear All Postgre Users,

I want to develop a new project on Lavarel 5 and Postgresql 11.

Now, I need Global Position System coordinates as a data type. How do I 
define it in Postgresql 11 or 12?


Thanks for your help.

Timmy

You can use the postgis extension:

create extension postgis;

Then you can create a geography coulmn

location geography( point, 4326) 

and insert a lat /long as a point like this:
ST_GeographyFromText('SRID=4326;POINT(%(longitude)s %(latitude)s)'),
