So we don't have GPS coordinates for *all* schools but we do have them for most. They are an assortment of self-collected, volunteer reported, third-party reported, geocoded and sourced GPS coordinates. DISE does have them for some but not all states but they do not expose them, sadly. There are mistakes in the PIN Codes - we used the GPS coordinates and ran them through PIN Code polygons. -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
