Considering that AF has latitude and longitude traits for elements and already supports files as attributes, would it be possible to provide basic GIS support?
The file attribute could be used to store a shapefile, geoJson or GeoPackage, while the location trait could be used as input to some simple geospatial analysis, like:
- Does a polygon contain a given coordinate?
- What's the distance from one coordinate to another?
- What's the minimum distance from one coordinate to a polygon?

We are declining this item as we don't feel it's the right fit with our overall product strategy. Thank you for your feedback, and please continue sharing your thoughts on how we can better serve you.
Many customers don't have the enterprise-grade requirements to justify an ESRI integration (or Matlab for that matter when using calculations on there). So some basic functions in AF would suit these requirements fine!
