[Thuban-list] Extension for Import of Geonet Names Server

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi,

I checked a import tool for Geonet Names Server
datafiles (http://www.nima.mil/gns/html/)
into CVS.

It is an extension, and you can activate with
adding the line

import Extensions.gns2shp.gns2shp

to your file ~/.thuban/thubanstart.py

Currently it converts all the data and displays them.
This could take quite some time for the larger datasets.
It would be helpful to add a simple dialog that
asks for some type of locations to import in order
to reduce the number. Spatial selection (all points
within a selected polygon) would be interesting as well).
Any volunteers ? :-)

More about how to activate an Extension can be found here:

Best

	Jan
