[OSGeo Africa] Topographical data for Grave/Graves and Cemetery

[Frank Sokolic]

Dear Peter,

You don't mention the format of the Western Cape data you've downloaded 
but if it is the 1:50000 topo data in ESRI file geodatabase format then 
the layers you need to look at are CULT_PUBLIC_EXP_Point (three 
cemeteries and 549 graves in the WC) and CULT_PUBLIC_EXP_Areal (293 
cemeteries and one grave in the WC).

Please let me know if you need a step-by-step explanation of how to 
extract this information.

Regards, Frank.
