Hi everyone,

I’m new here 🙂  
Just to know if there is a way with ORS to know if a point is inside a Polygon or not.  
To be clear something equivalent with the containsLocation() GM feature?

Many thank by advance for your support

Best.

Hi @netproject0,

this is nothing we support via our API, depending on the programming language you are working in, there might be spatial libraries that you can use e.g. [Turf.js | Advanced Geospatial Analysis](https://turfjs.org/docs/#booleanPointInPolygon) for JS.

Best regards
