The research is focused on equal-area tessellation geocoding systems, which use triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, and hexagon figures as a basis for dividing the spherical earth surface. The obtained, because of the division, almost equal-area tessellation provides interesting opportunities for quick visualization of the so-called "heat maps"because equal-area tessellation enables the data associated with certain cells to be easily analyzed in the distribution of measured values per unit area. In this regard, the most essential features of the systems using spherical triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons are outlined, with more attention being paid to the S2 Geometry systems offered by the company Google, based on spherical squares, the H3 system offered by the company Uber, based on pentagon and hexagon figures, the Geohash-EAS, and the newly P4 equal rectangular systems. These systems can be effectively used in several geographic information systems (spanning those pertaining to flow management and transportation), because a number of program libraries have been developed in different programming languages, which are released with open-source license. The study can serve as a basis for selecting an appropriate geocoding system, in the requirement for analysis and presentation of dynamic, fast changing data connected with geographical position.
