Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) provides methods for constructing new spatial data models. It is a promising computer representation of global geo-referenced data sets based on regular, multi-resolution partitions of polyhedra. The object of our research is hexagonal DGGS, and we propose a new optimized target function to evaluating the geometrical properties of discrete global grids. Based on this function, this paper designs a new construction idea of hexagonal DGGS which combines the numerical projection transformation and heuristic global optimization. In addition, according to the weakness of DGGS: spatial measurement, this paper discusses the area measurement, the lineal measurement and the angle measurement based on the hexagonal DGGS. Its purpose is to develop a spatial measurement system for the hexagonal DGGS. In the end, the conclusions and the further studies of this paper are given.
