GNIS Codes ...
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to address the problems caused by spelling and naming variations. The BGN will usually recognize an existing name or, when necessary, chose a new name for a geographic feature (such as a mountain, lake, river, stream, city, town, village, dam, bridge, etc).
The BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and it is the official Federal repository. The GNIS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
A unique and permanent numeric code has been assigned for each name in the GNIS database. These names and identifiers are definitive and it is intended that they are to be used by all departments of the Federal Government:
GNIS ID for Meyer Camp: 362319
GNIS ID for Hawaii: 1779782
GPS Location - GNIS Coordinates ...
An important aspect of the GNIS code is that it assigns a GPS location (the latitude/longitude) to the geographic feature. This location is simply a point on the map and does not represent the size or shape of the feature. In the case of Meyer Camp, it is a point within Meyer Camp that might be a post office, the city hall or simply an intersection - the point should really be considered arbitrary and only indicating a general location.
For Meyer Camp, the GNIS GPS location is given as:
Lat: 19° 13' 14" (or 19.22°)
Lon: -155° 29' 35" (or -155.49°)
