# Geospatial Types

Geospatial types contain information about points, paths, and polygons on the surface of the Earth. For more information, see [Working with Geospatial Features](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/developer-resources/functional-extensions/working-with-geospatial-features.md).

| Data Type      | Size     | Size (Not Null) |
| -------------- | -------- | --------------- |
| GEOGRAPHYPOINT | 8 bytes  | 8 bytes         |
| GEOGRAPHY      | See note |                 |

> **❗ Important**: The space consumed by the path and polygon data in `Geography` columns is dependent on the complexity of the objects. Very roughly, a `Geography` value consumes 24 bytes per vertex, plus a 64 byte overhead, plus some minor overhead for each “ring” in a multipolygon.Indexing a `Geography` object may also consume more space than indexes over other data types. The rule of thumb is 40 bytes \* the value of the RESOLUTION parameter of the index, per row.
