I've been reading about Neo4j, and am currently experimenting with it in NodeJs.

Are there any other note worthy graph or spatial databases that are better equip for coordinate based entities and relationships. I currently prototyping coordinate based relationships with player entities in a game.

Ultimately I am looking for a technology for storing coordinate nodes that relate to a central hub which services set a polygon (Telecom - CLLI).

Basic Example (Fictional Data):

enter image description here

I am relatively new to databases outside of the traditional RDBMS. So any guidance or reading will is greatly apprenticed.

    Since you mention Neo4j, are you aware of the [neo4j-spatial](https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/spatial) plugin? Neo4j-spatial implements an in graph RTree index for efficient geospatial queries. I wrote a few posts about using neo4j-spatial [here](http://www.lyonwj.com/using-neo4j-spatial-and-leaflet-js-with-mapbox/) and [here](http://www.lyonwj.com/mapping-the-worlds-airports-with-neo4j-spatial-and-openflights-part-1/). – William Lyon Jan 04 '16 at 21:22
  • Thank you, I asked this the day before Christmas (probably not the greatest idea), but I am glad you got to me. I will be reading those articles. Thank you for the references :) I wasn't aware that spatial plugin that makes Neo4j much more appealing for this project. – Matt Oaxaca Jan 05 '16 at 00:03
  • @WilliamLyon your two links are broken. Could you please update them. I am having a similar equiry and I hope your resources will offer an insight into what I need. thanks in advance – qualebs Aug 02 '17 at 11:34
