Geolocation Object Import and Export

The geolocation.xsd schema supports importing store geolocations based on ZIP code.

When configuring the geolocation object, keep the following in mind:

• The root geolocations element serves as a wrapper for various geolocation elements for a single country.
• The country is defined as an attribute of the root geolocations element.
• The geolocation element spans a section with the common import replace semantic. For this reason, a geolocation import file always replaces any existing geolocations of a particular country.
• Geolocations of different countries are imported as separate files.

The following is a sample XML file containing two geolocation records for the USA:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<geolocations country-code="US" xmlns="http://www.demandware.com/xml/impex/geolocation/2007-05-01">
	<geolocation postal-code="00501">  
		<city xml:lang="x-default">HOLTSVILLE</city>
		<state xml:lang="x-default">NY</state> 
		<longitude>-72.637078</longitude> 
		<latitude>40.922326</latitude> 
	</geolocation>
	<geolocation postal-code="00544">  
		<city xml:lang="x-default">HOLTSVILLE</city>
		<state xml:lang="x-default">NY</state> 
		<longitude>-72.637078</longitude> 
		<latitude>40.922326</latitude> 
</geolocation>...</geolocations>
