Yes that's what I tought also. But I had a discussion with Rupert Howell, and
below is what he said.
<<I would have thought that a quick and easy way to group Geos together would be beneficial. It would have when we were dealing with
all of the Royal Mail and RMWE sort zones. I was thinking a simple screen with all the Geos listed by type, the ability to create a
new geo, then the ability to multi select from a left box and drag and drop over into the new geo to form the assoc would be a very
handy feature. That way when the zones change, or they want to create a new courier who uses bespoke zones, which in my experience
in the UK and US so far - is all of them (RM, CityLink, DPD, UPS, Fedex) they can do it themselves without manually importing
data.>>
Actually I tink the idea is to open these entities to users w/out XML editing experience and don't wanting to have their hands dirty
or are afraid of breaking things.
Also it'd be an easy way to add new custom geo types and use them.
For now I have simple screens (no drag&drop feature), I may improve...

sounds like a section Geo is better...
I wonder if at some point we could not even handle GeoPoint there...

Hi,
I'd like to contribute minimal Find/Edit screens and services for Geo and
GeoAssoc. I think it's place is in Webtools.
If nobody sees a problem with that, I will add a Miscellaneous (or rather Geo?
Miscellaneous would allow to add more later...
or I just saw Misc. Setup Tools?) section in Main Page and will put links to
screens there.
Thanks
Jacques
