Nearest Join

This node will merge the left (top) and the right (bottom) table based on the distance between their geometries of the two selected columns to one another. Distance is calculated in CRS units and is returned in the column NearDist. Both layers must be in the same Coordinate Reference System (CRS), otherwise, the CRS of right table will be transformed to that of the left table.

The node is based on the GeoPandas project and uses the following related information and functions:

• Spatial joins
• Merging data
• sjoin_nearest
