Re: "GEOINSIDE" function

Dear Giuseppe,

Yes, I understand that GEOREG function is inefficient function to use for
this purpose.
I admit that there should be a function, that checks if the point is
inside a specified region.
And the question is if this function is accessible from the user routine
and can I use it instead of GEOREG?

Best regards,
