shp2pgsql-gui is not apparently available as a plugin in a default windows install. I have no plugins installed by default for pgAdmin III.
Thus the instructions:
Using pgAdmin III, we first highlight the database and then fire up shp2pgsql-gui using the plug-in menu or button. See figure 1.4.
didn't work for me.
Luckily, I found shp2pgsql-gui.exe in an executable file on my windows install.
Also note: Figure 1.4 is a bit small and fuzzy, and hard to read.
I can tell that the text says to change the name to: highways_staging, while the graphic itself shows the word "roads."
I also suggest specifically mentioning (not just in the graphic) to change the schema to ch01. I foolishly lost about an hour looking for the table the first time I imported it, because it landed in 'public' and I didn't see it there. I'm sure I wouldn't have missed it, though, if it was mentioned in the text.
(I'm still not sure of what schema are... but perhaps all will be revealed as I progress.)
