The Geographic database function summary table is malformed and slightly
misleading (rows make it seem like all functions relate to each other)
It is also fairly difficult to update.

I believe this table is there to group the functions. Instead of a table I
believe we should group the functions with headers

Comment (by Paolo Melchiorre):

I think that the summary table of the geographic functions of the database
is a great-added value to the page, giving an immediate picture of the
content of the page.

But I also think that the new hierarchical organization of the headers of
the geographic functions of the database is a great improvement.

Before giving an opinion in favor of its removal of the table, could you
post a screenshot of the contents' column with the new headers?
