A point is a location on earth defined by its name, latitude and longitude. Points can be grouped in types. A type provides a general description of the point and usually contains several pointnames. A class is a collection of types and serves as a even more general descriptor of types and points. Examples:
Types and classes should facilitate the grouping of points that have something in common and allow for the downloading of specific collections of points from the Point Share Exchange web site.
Below you find the types and classes submitted so far. Please feel free to add your type- and classnames after checking for their existence in the collection.
