ec_flag_with_locality: Filter records to georeference using GEOLocate

Description

Filter records to georeference using GEOLocate

Usage

ec_flag_with_locality(
  data,
  uncertainty = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
  locality = "locality",
  verbatimLocality = "verbatimLocality"
)

Value

A column with flagged records as 1, which means these records has potential to be georeferenced.

Arguments

data

data table with occurrence information

uncertainty

Mendatory to have coordinateUncertaintyInMeters column in the data table

locality

verbatimLocality

Mandatory to have verbatimLocality in the data table.

Details

Examples

data <- data.frame(
  coordinateUncertaintyInMeters = c(NA, "N/A", 50, "30", NA, "N/A", NA),
  locality = c("Santa Cruz", NA, "Los Angeles", "N/A", "", "San Diego", NA),
  verbatimLocality = c(NA, "CA coast", "", "N/A", "Long Beach", NA, "")
)
data$flag_check_geolocate <- ec_flag_with_locality(
data, uncertainty = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
locality = "locality",
verbatimLocality = "verbatimLocality"
)
