[geos-devel] Planar point location query?

[Okeefe, Charlie (Mission Systems)]

I'm wondering if GEOS is (capable of) / (a good fit for) answering the
following problem:
 
Given a static database of countries and oceans in the world, each
defined by a set of polygons, answer the query, "which country or ocean
contains point P?" where P has some arbitrary latitude and longitude.
 
Thanks for any help!
