[Kexi] [ideas] GIS in Kexi; was: Google Fusion Tables - storage for Kexi?

[Noli Sicad]

I think GIS in Kexi probably heavy to do in one go. Why just a
Spatialite in Kexi - a support for spatialite in Kexi.

Although, if we can display spatialite geometries in Kexi Map canvas
that would be very good.

GEOS is the engine for displaying the spatial geometries.
