Course overview

What you will learn

Build a complete shortest-path routing and network analysis web project. This six-part Course combines PostgreSQL, PostGIS, pgRouting and web mapping to turn road-network data into an interactive routing application.

You will prepare and clean network data, create routing topology, calculate paths with spatial SQL, connect database results to a web interface and display the final route on an interactive map.

  • Prepare road data for network analysis.
  • Run reliable shortest-path queries with pgRouting.
  • Connect the spatial database to a working web map.
