[Talk-ca] GNS tag cleanup

[steggink at steggink.org]

Hi Paul,

gns:jog refers to the sheet number of the Joint Operations Graphics  
map series.
gns:mgrs refers to the Military Grid Reference System, which is  
nothing more than an alternate representation of the coordinate system

IMO both these values can be safely removed.

I don't know about the other ones. Perhaps you can find more  
information here: http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/

Regards,

Frank
