Hawaiʻi Island Names (and Midway Atoll)

Publeyêe per Icycle lo 6 October 2009 en English.

I recently returned from a trip to Maui and Big Island, in the US state of Hawaiʻi. While I was there, I collected a very large quantity of GPS tracklogs.

Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the existing TIGER imports for Maui and Big Island used an incorrect datum, so I'll have to wait for the latest TIGER data to be reimported for these islands before I can do any significant work based on my data collection.

In the meantime, I noticed that none of the main islands, nor the small islets and atolls in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands had been labeled with island names, so I took the opportunity to add names to all the major and minor islands.

I also added a few additional details about the manmade features of Midway Atoll based on the satellite photos and the written descriptions from the Wikipedia article on Miday.
