   <title>Setting up GIS</title>

-    <para>Setting up the GIS simply means storing coordinates for the organisation units you want to show on the map in the database. Coordinates are  often distributed in  proprietary formats and will need to be converted to a format which DHIS2 uses. ESRI shapefiles are the most common geospatial vector data format for desktop applications.  You might find shapefiles for your country <ulink url="http://www.diva-gis.org/gd";>here</ulink> or in many other geospatial data repositories on the web. Some amount of work needs to be done in order to use these coordinates in DHIS 2 GIS, namely transforming the data into a suitable format and ensuring the name which are contained in the geospatial data match exactly with the names of the organization units which they should be matched to. </para>

     <para>If you go to the organisation unit module and edit one of the units, you can see a text field called Coordinates. Here you may fill in its coordinates directly (geojson format) which is useful if you just want to update a couple of units.</para>
