description An improved method is provided for determining whether a sample point is within a defined geographic area. Indexes for the geographic area of interest are generated in advance. Such indexes complement the traditional spatial indexing techniques such as quad tree and r-tree. The geographic area, as defined by an outer boundary, is subdivided into some regular geometric shape, preferably a rectangle, encoded into a suitable form, and indexed. Then, a simplified comparison of the sample point to the indexed regular shapes is made.
