NEARBY LRS_TEST LIMIT 1 WHEREIN meta.layer_id 1 WAY IDS POINT -37.834040127081664 145.02898743753536 5.0

To Reproduce
Use the above commands to get the output

Expected behavior
Expected behaviour is to provide me the closest road to the point provided in the NEARBY, and it should produce this output ["OSM&&WAY756852509"], but currently it gives ["OSM&&WAY10592122"] for ids instead of.

Additional context
Tile38 Docker compose:

  tile38:
    image: tile38/tile38:latest
    container_name: tile38
    volumes:
      - tile38-data:/data
    ports:
      - 9851:9851
    network_mode: bridge

Even the following command produce the wrong result, it given OSM&&WAY756852510 as ids

INTERSECTS LRS_TEST BUFFER 10.0 WHEREIN meta.layer_id 1 WAY IDS OBJECT "{"type":"Feature","properties":{},"geometry":{"coordinates":[145.02898743753536,-37.834040127081664],"type":"Point"}}"

NEARBY will only ever consider the center point of linestrings and polygons, hence the result you see.

[chamikabm]

@iwpnd , Interesting, It seems like that information is missing from the documentation. What would be the better approach for achieving the same ?

My idea is to find all the nearby linestrings to a given point within a specified radius and retrieve them in of ascending distance from the given point.

INTERSECTS LRS_TEST BUFFER 100.0 MATCH OSM&&WAY* IDS OBJECT "{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"properties\":{},\"geometry\":{\"coordinates\":[145.02898743753536,-37.834040127081664],\"type\":\"Point\"}}"

I tried the above it seems to be working, but the issue is results are not in the order of ascending distance from the given point

[iwpnd]

You can use a tool that provides you with the required capabilities such as PostGIS or you can calculate distances in your application and order instead of relying on Tile38 here.

Sure thank you.
