Conversion

Various formats needed converting…

• POIs were converted to GPX and these in turn converted to GeoJSON using toGeoJSON.
• A useful site for converting GeoJSON to CSV to facilitate editing is here (it will also convert them from CSV to GeoJSON here).
• Ordnance Survey grid references in the UK can be converted to latitude and longitude using nearby.org.uk.

ToDo

Incorporate as many areas (including climbing) as possible…
