FAQ

FAQ

Is OurAirports already a GIS file?

Not directly. It starts as CSV, but the longitude and latitude fields make it easy to turn into a spatial point layer.

Why keep a CSV dataset in the GIS directory?

Because it is widely used for GIS transport workflows and converts cleanly into web mapping formats.
