shp2text - export and convert ESRI shapefile to text/xml/spreads

This utility dumps shapefiles and associated data into various formats. It was created specifically because of a desire to dump data into Google Maps (see example above). shp2text.c (single source file) shp2text.zip (build directory, linux binaries, windows command line executable) bike-cape_islands-geo.xml (example output) bike-cape_islands-geo.dbf bike-cape_islands-geo.shp bike-cape_islands-geo.shx The above files were processed with the command line "shp2text --gpx bike-cape_islands-geo.shp 6 0 > output.gpx". http://www.obviously.com/gis/shp2text/

http://mappinghacks.com/2008/05/29/geohash-implemented-in-python/ Schuyler wrote a python module to support the Geohash latitude/longitude encoding system created by Gustavo Niemeyer. ( wikipedia link ). Schuyler’s python implementation of geohashing code is here . Geohashing is not to be confused with the more amusing but arguably less useful xkcd geohashing , an implementation of that code lives here . There is of course also an implementation on the CPAN.
