Specific

• Spatial files and mapping
  • Maps that Show Paths Between Origins and Destinations
  • Mapbox: maps and location for developers.
  • Change encoding of Czech spatial filesChange encoding of Czech spatial files
    
    Download the version of WGS84
    The encoding is Czech, i.e. Windows-1250 (or sometimes Latin II)
    To change it for some programmes, it would work to change the *.cpg file from 1250 to UTF-8
    For Tableau, you need to change the encoding of *.dbf file, ideally through Open Office and using this guide
    Then it works!
    
    
    (Also, here is how it works for a normal text file.)
