How to get a polygon for an area in GPS coordinates? (prefer in W.Alpha)

Posted 10 years ago

Hi all,

I am wondering if it is at all possible to query Wolfram Alpha for a city and receive in return a polygon of GPS coordinates that cover the area of the city.

Thanks,

In Mathematica using the Wolfram Language, the query is:

Entity["City", {"Chicago", "Illinois", "UnitedStates"}]["Polygon"]

This is probably an example of something you'd use Mathematica for.
