Hi Bulat,

                Without testing this myself, you might look to this blog

I'm trying to execute the following SQL:

 

SELECT ST_Covers(ST_GeogFromText('POLYGON((-22 61, 62 61, 62 48, -22 48, -22
61))'), ST_GeogFromText('POINT(37 55)'));

 

PostGIS returned me FALSE, but i'm expecting TRUE.

 

Please, tell me is this my error or PostGIS bug?


 

Best regards,

Bulat Nigmatullin
