About Geopastebin
Geopastebin aims to be a useful way to paste geographic information much like programmers and designers paste code snippets that they want to talk about or ask questions about. Geopastebin currently supports the following Tex-based geographic formats:
- Well Known Text (WKT)
- Extended Well Known Text (EWKT)
- GeoJSON
Support is in the works for KML. Other formats that would be nice to support include GPX, NMEA, and GML.
