Hello,

We’re excited to announce the 1.3 release of the Geospatial Extension. The major addition in this release is the support for H3 grids, Isochrone Maps and new open data nodes.

This version requires KNIME Analytics Platform version 5.2 or later.

New nodes

  • New nodes to work with H3 grids: Create H3 Grid and Point to H3
  • New open data nodes: GDELT data and OpenSky Network
  • TomTom Isochrone Map
  • Directed Bezier Curve

Enhancements

  • Projection node now supports processing of multiple CRS
  • Remove “Preset column to: XYZ” from all nodes
  • Shorten CRS by using EPSG instead of WKT if possible
  • Google Distance Matrix node with support for traffic models
  • Nearest Join Node with “Exclude the nearest geometries that are equal to the input geometry”
  • Library updates of GeoPandas and Libpysal

Bug fixes

  • Installation fails on some MacOS due to “realpath command not found” exception
  • Missing Pulp solver on Linux
  • OSRM Distance Matrix node returns proper error message if service in unavailable
  • Local Moran’s I and Local Getis-Ord G contain error in the spot_type and spots column
  • Geospatial View shows points only once in zoomed out map
