    Geocommons.com - Mapping the World with Data Sets

    Geocommons takes Google maps and allows users to graph and chart particular data sets according to geographical location. For instance, if you"re interested in knowing how many windmills are in Holland, or if you want an idea of bottled water consumption within the inland Northwest, Geocommons provides the means to create an intelligent map that suits your needs.

    The site has ready access to a repository of high quality geodata which any one can use with a few simple clicks of their mouse. Demographics, environmental attributes, political info,crime rate, unemployement-- all of this information is available for your use, and it"s still expanding. If you"re moving for instance, you can use Geocommons to find out about your neighborhood, it"s crime rate, schools, traffic, and pollution. You can create your own data sets and export them to Google Earth"s KML and you"ll get your own smart, customized map. Or you can use Geocommon"s workspace and search their data archive adding it to your map as you go. Data is supplied by Geocommon users, NGO"s, goverments, and neo-geographers. Currently to create your own Geocommons map you"ll needn"t spend a cent, however the site will enable private data in the future for an additional cost.
