+The approach demonstrated in this example has one drawback compared to the default behavior:
+the `DataStore` must be kept open during all the time that the `GridCoverage` is used.
+Consequently the `data` variable should not be used outside the `try` block in this example.

The example in this page works with pixel coordinates.
For working with geographic coordinates, see
[values at geographic coordinates](raster_values_at_geographic_coordinates.html) code example.
