Version 1.36.0 allows isolate fields to be linked to GPS lookup tables to facilitate mapping. This allows, for example, a field for town_or_city to contain place names, which can then be mapped within the isolate information page and in the Field Breakdown and Microreact plugins.

In order to enable this, the PostgreSQL PostGIS module needs to be installed and an optional table created in the isolates database using the isolatedb_geocoding.sql script. A field described in config.xml can then be linked to GPS lookups by setting the geography_point_lookup attribute to 'yes'.

GPS lookup values can then be set in the curator interface by administrators or curators with the 'modify geopoints' permission set.

Alternatively, lookup GPS values can be set in bulk by using the gp_town_lookups.pl script found in the scripts/maintenance directory. This uses the Geonames database, containing coordinates of town and cities with populations of at least 1000 worldwide, that is distributed with BIGSdb.
