Support geographic area and proximity searches with PostGIS
Add GeoPoint and GeoBox scalar types and enable rich geo searching queries including indexing, "search within area", "find closest to point within radius", etc.

We are excited to announce that geographic area and proximity searches using PostGIS are now fully supported! You can now utilize Native SQL in Firebase SQL Connect (formerly Data Connect) to leverage PostGIS for rich, location-based queries—like "search within area" and "find closest to point"—directly in your apps.
You can find everything you need to get started in our Firebase SQL Connect Native SQL documentation. We would love for you to try it out and share your feedback with us!
