Re: Documentation on GIS App

 

Pamod,

Aha - "in tracker I'm collecting GIS point coordinates as attributes". That
is the crux of the matter, I believe: the coordinates used in the DHIS2-GIS
is stored in the OrganisationUnit table with a geotype, i.e. the points and
polygons are part of the Organisational Hierarchy.

Your heat/spot map will in reality represent event cases. Tricky...

Regards
Calle
