        <title>USA polygons</title>
        <description> Will update USA polygon data today. I will start soon (within the hour) and it will progress for most of the day.

The only relevant changes I have seen are these:
* Black Hawk County (IA) (Iowa) renamed to Black Hawk County (IA) (double suffix fixed)
* Green County (KY) (Kentucky) renamed to Green County (KY) (double suffix fixed)
* Kenai Peninsula (AK) (Alaska) renamed to Kenai Peninsula (AK) (double suffix fixed)
* Lake and Peninsula (AK) (Alaska) renamed to Lake and Peninsula (AK) (double suffix fixed)
* Monroe County (NY) (New York) renamed to Monroe County (NY) (double suffix fixed)
* Navajo County (AZ) (Arizona) renamed to Navajo County (AZ) (double suffix fixed)

I don&amp;#039;t know when those double suffixes were added, but it definitely wasn&amp;#039;t on purpose. When the new polygons are ready I will try to update those names as fast as possible to avoid having double county names.
