They could be used for simple GIS applications (e.g., storing
latitude/longitude as points), although PostGIS would be more
suitable for non-trivial needs.  Are you asking about PostgreSQL's
native geometry types specifically or are you also interested in
how PostGIS is being used?  If the latter then see their case
