Seed Places with natural features from GNIS #117

Open nateirwin opened 9 years ago

nateirwin commented 9 years ago

Per a suggestion from @asouthwould, we should seed Places with a subset of natural features from GNIS. This is especially important for rural parks that may have only a few manmade features. We should probably only seed points right now (GNIS includes some lines and polygons, as well).

We'll need to talk to AKR, IMR, and PWR to see if they want us to seed features for their parks.

@jakecoolidge: Thought you might be able to lead this one?

Will do. I'll start by re-familiarizing myself with GNIS and determine those features that overlap with our preset list.

We may want to talk to Greg Matthews about this tomorrow, he's very familiar with the GNIS dataset.

Are we scheduled to talk to Greg Matthews tomorrow on another matter? I haven't met him yet.

nateirwin commented 9 years ago

We're doing lunch. You should come, although I'm going to be in a bit of a hurry (I'm wedging it between two meetings). I'll add you to the invite.

Great! Looking forward.
