Demo tableCols2geojson formatter

README.md

Demo TableExportTemplate to generate a geojson file containing a list of points.

Requires:

• the name of the column containing the marker description (Place in the example);
• a column containing numerical latitude co-ordinate values (Lat in the example);
• a column containing numerical longitude co-ordinate values (Long in the example).

Example data:

Place,Lon,Lat
"London, UK",-0.1276597, 51.5072759
"Cambridge, UK",  0.124862, 52.2033051
"Paris, France", 2.3521334, 48.8565056

See an example IPython notebook demonstrating how to apply this template here: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/psychemedia/3ee6f5d1d0a337941ee3
