That's a great idea - it could be super useful for people who have non
spatial data and can use fusion tables to geocode it. It didn't occur to me
you could connect straight to it. We had been contemplating leveraging that
geocoding capability for GeoNode, but I think it could be a nicer story to
be able to tell people to upload there and we could connect directly. So
yeah, I think the big win is the built in geocoding, less so the storage
thing, as spreadsheet people can understand it, no need to convert to a
shapefile or figure out geocoding.
Are there limits to how much data can be put in? If not I wonder if it has
any type of spatial index.
