Support importing shapefiles with different projections #207

Closed slinkp closed 11 years ago

slinkp commented 11 years ago

I think we assume SRID 4326 everywhere. There are certainly a lot of shapefiles with other projections out there, we need to support them.

slinkp commented 11 years ago

Note that import_locations.py does convert to 4326; confirmed it works given other projections as input. Not sure about block import, zip code import, etc.

slinkp commented 11 years ago

This might just work for importing blocks and zip codes. Untested since all the census data is 4326.

I'm gonna close as WorksForMe.
