(Feature request) MAM locations that aren't a single point

We're going to be using a MAM to migrate our infrastructure projects over to QGov. While the location of some projects can be summed up by a single point, we have others where work is being done over a stretch of highway between 2 points, and others where multiple points might be more appropriate to highlight a non-linear region. Would there be a way of representing more than one point as a line or a region, for a single entry in the CSV?

Should be straightforward to implement. Questions:

• how do we put multiple points in the data? Currently we expect 2 properties (Latitude and Longitude) in the data. Looks like we'd need to put GeoJSON formatted data into a column named 'spatial'. I'll check with the open data team: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7/geospatial.html
• this changes how searching by geolocation works: need to consider all the coordinates now

If we keep our standard Latitude and Longitude properties but then allow the system to look for Latitude1 and Longitude1... LatitudeX and LongitudeX would this work?

Possibly… though I like using a format that CKAN supports better.
