Places Finder (PostGIS)

  • Tech Stack: FastAPI, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Leaflet, OpenStreetMap, pytest
  • Github URL: Project Link

A map-based spatial application for finding points of interest and routing between them. Users filter POIs by category and distance directly on an interactive map, with all spatial queries handled by PostGIS.

Beyond search, it computes routes with a hand-rolled A* pathfinder over the Bangladesh OpenStreetMap road network — no pgRouting dependency required. The project ships with a full FastAPI backend and a pytest suite covering the spatial and routing logic end to end.
