G'day all,

I have a roads shapefile which I imported in PostGIS, planning to merge several different countries data eventually. It is producing a layer on the map, and labels etc.

However, the data isn't all good - in fact, about 10% is bad :

es=# select IsValid(the_geom), count(gid) from gis_roads group by IsValid(the_geom);

 isvalid | count
----------+-------
              |  4128
      t       | 39670
(2 rows)

My question then is :

should I ?

a) leave it - it won't do any harm, but probably won't be rendered,
b) remove it - it may be incorrectly rendered, or waste processor time on data that is unuseable,
c) fix it by hand (lazy git!)
d) fix it automatically, using super program I wasn't aware of. (called?)

actually, I don't have the time or budget for option c, and I suspect option d does not exist!

cheers

Ben
