    <p>There is a good writeup on how to generate geoJSON from shapefiles here<br/> <a href="http://vallandingham.me/shapefile_to_geojson.html" rel="noreferrer">http://vallandingham.me/shapefile_to_geojson.html</a></p> <p>The steps below should take you from start to finish:</p> <ol> <li><p>Install the Quantum GIS framework <a href="http://www.qgis.org/e/qgis" rel="noreferrer">http://www.qgis.org/e/qgis</a>.<br/> If you are on Mac OS X, you can use this version <a href="http://www.kyngchaos.com/software" rel="noreferrer">http://www.kyngchaos.com/software</a><br/> This will give you the ogr2ogr utility used for converting shapefiles to geoJSON</p></li> <li><p>Download the shapefiles for your country from here <a href="http://www.gadm.org/country" rel="noreferrer">http://www.gadm.org/country</a> and unzip</p></li> <li><p>For Canada, and possibly other countries, the shapefile with suffix 0 is for the country boundary and the suffix 1 is for the internal regions. Not sure if this naming is consistent across countries.</p></li> <li><p>Upload the region level shapefile to MapShaper <a href="http://mapshaper.com/test/MapShaper.swf" rel="noreferrer">http://mapshaper.com/test/MapShaper.swf</a><br/> You can skip this step if you don't care to optimize the size of your resulting geoJSON</p></li> <li><p>Set the 'simplification level' slider in MapShaper to the desired level and export the simplified shapefile as 'Shapefile - Polygons'</p></li> <li><p>Download .shp and .shx file to the local directory where you unzipped the original shapefiiles, replace the original files with the simplified ones.</p></li> <li><p>Navigate to the local directory and run the command below, replacing <em>&lt;shapefile&gt;</em> with the actual name of the shapefile you want to convert.</p> <p><em>ogr2ogr -f geoJSON regions.json &lt;shapefile&gt;.shp</em></p></li> </ol> <p>You should now have the regions for your country in geoJSON format. Check to make sure there are paths defined in regions.json and that property fields were maintained (ex. region name).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
