locationTbl <- get(data("wa_monitors_500"))
wa <- get(data("wa_airfire_meta"))

# We will merge some metadata from wa into locationTbl

# Record indices for wa
wa_indices <- seq(5,65,5)
wa_sub <- wa[wa_indices,]

locationID <- table_getLocationID(locationTbl, wa_sub$longitude, wa_sub$latitude, radius = 500)
locationData <- wa_sub$siteName

locationTbl <- table_updateColumn(locationTbl, "siteName", locationID, locationData)

# Look at the data we attempted to merge
wa$siteName[wa_indices]

# And two columns from the updated locationTbl
locationTbl_indices <- table_getRecordIndex(locationTbl, locationID)
locationTbl[locationTbl_indices, c("city","siteName")]
