Yes, a grid system like H3 https://www.uber.com/en-NL/blog/h3/ https://www.uber.com/en-NL/blog/h3/ is is closer to a circle in shape. One of the reasons for Uber to use H3 is bacause density maps look more natural in hexagonal shapes. It would be interesting to see the answer for H3 hexes.
- nerdponx 2y agoThere are a lot of nice things about H3. At work it's our default tool for partitioning and indexing of horizontal position data.
- KeplerBoy 2y agoAre you using it for non geospatial data?
- nerdponx 2y agoNo sorry, just geospatial (horizontal position on the surface of the Earth). It should be theoretically possible to re-develop it for other spaces (it's "just" a hexagon tiling), but the H3 team put a lot of work into the details and you'd be taking on a big effort redoing that for a different space.
