Hi Dave,

I have sent the new patch in a new thread because I thought you have missed
this email... So please just ignore this patch and review the new patch. I
also added some test geo data in the new thread. You can add postGIS
extension and then import the data.

If you just want to have a quick look, I also build pgAdmin4 and import the
data on my server. You can login and have a look:
http://pgadmin4.gooong.cn:5050 . The username is my email address and
password is postgis_test .

I will add documentation for the viewer in the new thread.
