# land cover

This block is part of the [`geopoint`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/geopoint) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Resolves a geo point to a terrain / land-cover type (urban, agricultural, forest, grassland, wetland, water, bare, coastal). Offline raster lookup (Benelux, simplified CORINE).

- geo point required `geo_point` point to resolve to a terrain type

- type `value` land-cover label, e.g. forest / water / urban

- code `number` numeric land-cover class code

- success `condition`

- error `value`

A typical wiring for [land cover](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/geopoint/geo_point_land_cover): [from city](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/geopoint/geo_point_from_city) feeds the `geo_point` pin; the `type` out pin feeds [convert to uppercase](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_to_uppercase).
