Description

It would be nice to have a collection of data sets using H3 that folks can use for examples or are just generally useful.

Some ideas:

  • countries, US states, US zip codes as H3 cells at various resolutions
  • water vs land cells

https://geodatasets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html is a Python package that does something similar, but for general geographic datasets.

Aside from what examples we want, I think we'd also need to decide:

  • what data format we'd use, or if we'd use multiple
  • how we store the examples---in the repo, or point to external hosting
