[datameet] States shapefile is based on which Census Year ?

[Ashim Kapoor]

Dear all,

I am referring to the State maps here :

My query is : what Census year is this based on ? Can someone clarify ?

Best Regards,
Ashim

[datameet] 2011 Districts Shapefile seems to have an island inside Odisha

[Ashim Kapoor]

Dear All,

I downloaded the shapefiles from :

http://projects.datameet.org/maps/districts/

Then I subset it and kept only districts in Odisha and then took a union of
all polygons in Odisha. When I did this I was expecting the boundary of
Odisha. What I can see instead is the boundary of Odisha with a polygon
inside it.

Please see the attached code in R and the pdf generated by this code.

I guess I can use the State shapefile for the state boundary of Odisha  but
I thought I would report this.

Best Regards,
Ashim

Re: [datameet] Re: Launching a tool for composing transit schedules data in static GTFS standard

[Nikhil VJ]

Hi friends,

I've released a Windows click-and-launch (ok, double-click) version of this
GTFS Manager tool :
https://github.com/WRI-Cities/static-GTFS-manager/releases

Would there be windows users willing to try it out and share feedback on
whether it worked? Please post feedback with OS details here
.

Also, new videos made to possibly share with contacts in transit agencies :

(waiting for feedback before making more videos to demo all of the features)
