Locating GPS locations using GeoJSON

I've got a GeoJSON file of administrative borders i.e. state and county, and a CSV file with 12,500+ named GPS coordinates located within the geographic area.

My boss wants me to use the GeoJSON identify the county for each GPS location so I ended up with a CSV file (format) like;

LOCNAME, LOCLONG, LOCLAT, COUNTY, STATE

Is there any tool that can do this?

Thanks a bunch.

Solution

  • You may use QGIS to do this. You may import your geojson polygon file and import the csv containing coordinates as a point layer.
