This is a nice to have feature of course, the spatial matching. However is is also extremely tedious when marching large number of facilities for instance. Normally the.spelling may only differ slightly but there will inevitably be a need to provide some type of feedback to the user that the import is not possible because there names in the geodata that do not correspond to the dhis database. Ideally, users should be able to match against the existing hierarchy.  Again I have not tried this yet but am leery about using the GML option just yet. 


Also, is it still possible in 2.0.5 to view a map of all administration units at level 2 as opposed to just the subset available through the drill down function?

Jason pointed out to me one big issue with the transition from
external GeoJSON files to importing geometries via GML: We lose the
functionality for linking shapes to orgunits in the GUI. I think the
spatial linking was quite cool, though perhaps not very important.
However, different spellings is a major issue. With the current GML
solution, there is no assistance for the user to point out which names
differ, or how to make changes - it has to be done outside of DHIS2,
either in the DBF file before converting or in GML.
