Hi Craig Thank you for replying me
Regarding to Neo4j Spatial I thing I was not too much clear. I'm interested in Neo4J Spatial and in all its all spatial functions; I'm not too much worried about the addition of other nodes. What I didn't understand when using Neo4J Spatial is if I can use my own graph structure and add to the graph structure the spatial index; I would like to use my own OSMImporter who will create my own Graph with Nodes and Relationships; then I want to add spatial index to nodes (and maybe to relationship too); in my scenario Nodes will be points and Relationships should be lines (I'm still thinking to the addition of spatial index on relationships...for now it's only an idea but I'm considering if I really need it) So what I'ld like to do is: - use the embedded DB - use my own osmimporter - add spatial index to Nodes - maybe add spatial index to Relationships - use spatial functions provided by Neo4J Spatial Do yuo think is this feasibile thing? If so....how can I use the spatial index in order to index my own Nodes?
