<title>Importing geographical layers for orgunit thematic mapping</title>
<para>Start by installing the open source ogr2ogr tool. This should be available for most Linux distros (e.g. "apt-get install
ogr2ogr"). For Windows, get FWTools, http://fwtools.maptools.org/</para>
<para> The most common format for GIS data is the ESRI shapefile, which consists of three identically named files with extensions .shp, .shx and .dbf.
-You can use ogr2ogr to convert from between any formats (example below). Open the .dbf in a spreadsheet application (e.g. MS Excel). Make sure
- there is a field (column) which has Orgunit names, and that these Orgunits are already imported into DHIS2. Also make sure all spellings identical.
-</para><para>On Windows, open the FWTools Shell and navigate to the folder with the shapefiles. Issue the following command (replace "output" and
-"input" with the actual names): "ogr2ogr -F GML output.gml input.shp"

</para>
<para>The column in the .dbf file with the orgunit name will have been converted to an XML element inside the GML file. Open the GML file in
a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and do a search/replace to make sure this element is called exactly ogr:Name (case sensitive), e.g.
-<ogr:Name>Badjia</ogr:Name>
