This is a beta release of the SEED GIS functionality. The GIS functionality enables the geocoding of buildings using the MapQuest API upon building import. The geocoding saves the results to the latitude and longitude fields of the database for each PropertyState. If the user does not specify a MapQuest API Key in an environment variable, then SEED will not attempt to geocode the buildings. The user also has the ability to rerun geocoding from the inventory page's action menu on selected properties. This allows the user to 'fix' any address issues and rerun geocoding as needed.

In order to use the new functionality, the Postgres PostGIS extension needs to be installed and the database needs to be migrated. Make sure to read the setup_*.rst files on the correct procedure based on your OS.

This feature is in beta release and will still be improved over the new few weeks. Please send any feedback via github issues.
