Find GPS coordinates for US BBS stops #100

Closed mollyfrn closed 8 years ago

mollyfrn commented 8 years ago

GPS coordinate data available at route but not sub-route scale. Coordinate data available for Canadian BBS route stops, but seemingly nonexistent for US data. I've checked all of our folders and the folders in BioArk, and it seems until 2014 this data was available but then pulled from the BBS website.

Unless data is "hidden", best current option will be to download the route shapefiles and approximate stop locations along the route based on however many segments comprise a given route at a given scale (in a GIS?). I can then assign coordinates to segment endpoints. They won't be perfectly accurate, but hopefully they will be suitable for our purposes.
