gut_fgdb_caveats

Refers to experimental file geodatabase conversion in gut

  1. Files have to be zipped, which as far as I can tell is the norm for fgdb distribution (.gdb is just a directory)

  2. This converts to kml because handling layers in geojson exceeds my time budget for this (measured in minutes today!), patches and ideas for going straight to json are welcome: https://github.com/bmount/gut I haven't even had time to read the source of the great gdbflee.

  3. Files larger than 100 megabytes should access the underlying api unproxied:

curl -X POST http://conv.sfgeo.org:5984/_fgdb2kml --data-binary @yourfile.gdb.zip
