[Talk-us] Characterizing Systematic Errors in Hawaii and US Pacific Island Data

2009-10-02 Thread Scott Atwood
Based on suggestions in an earlier thread, I have begun the task of analyzing the errors in the existing data for the islands of Hawaii and other US Pacific Islands. I have begun with a few of the smaller, simpler islands, and I'd like to start sharing my findings. Kohoʻolawe: This is an

I'm completely unfamiliar with the process of importing TIGER data. Is it possible to import only a subset of the TIGER data, such as that corresponding to the county/state/US boundaries at 3 miles? Can we verify that the 2008 TIGER data has the correct geodetic datum for Hawaiʻi? And if both
