Q) What is the meaning and syntax of the 'GEOM MAP' directive in FME Plugin Reader Writer metafiles and in which cases should we use it?

A) The GEOM_MAP directive maps all the possible values for <format type> to fme_type. Continuing with our geodatabase example, geodb_point maps to fme_point, geodb_polyline maps to fme_line, and so on. The mapping gets tricky when multiple <format types> map to the same fme_type. In this situation ordering is important. It also gets tricky when there is no fme_type that fits your <format type> naturally. If you find yourself running into either of these two situations let us know and we'll help you out.
