Overview

MySQL and MariaDB both have improved their spatial support in the last few years, but
it’s not always easy to track down which functions are available in which version.

This tool will check which functions are actually available in your current MySQL or MariaDB database.

Once you know what spatial functions are available you can use your database to do GIS right within WordPress.

For more information on how to use these functions see the following resources:
