Hi,

I have data that contains polygons in wkt. When uploading data in
GeoRSS, will the polygons be properly processed? If not, what format
should I use to upload polygons?


Thanks in advance,

Hugo

Hugo,

You can look here (http://www.georss.org/simple) to see how to encode polygons using GeoRSS Simple. It's very similar to WKT but you'll need to remove some of the WKT decorations. I am unsure about multi-part polygons.

Hi Hugo,

Polygons are supported in the simple format. Twitter outputs polygons
as GeoRSS and we frequently pull in those feeds.
