Cencus Data in Google Earth

A very sorry to my blog reader, lazy to blog for a quite long time, I am working just around the clock, riding on the wheel never stop, happy to be with my kids arsya and kamila. In this posting I just cut, paste and add a comment adapted from GE Update. Try to do some further study on it, collecting some others reference for it.

A Stanford University PhD student recently gained world-wide Internet fame by publishing an innovative visualization tool called gCensus for showing US census data in Google Earth. Not only that, but he won some free hard drives so he could expand the database to cover more cities and states. Although the availability of many megabytes of census data from the US Government is a great resource, the tools for visualizing the data are limited. Normally you would need an expensive GIS application to visualize the data properly. Imran Haque decided to write some tools to process the data for visualization in Google Earth. He started with just three states (California, Pennsylvania, and Oregon).To try out the application, launch the gCensus web interface. Choose the data source you want to map in the left-hand pane. Next follow the instructions on the right-hand pane to navigate through the application. In the final step, you'll see a link asking you to "Click here to download your map". Click on this and it should load into Google Earth and show you a visualization of the census data you've selected. Read Imran's article at ExtremeTech, and visit his web site for more details (and to watch for the availability of more states).

If we can adapt this study to our schema here, we can reduce some big budget and avoiding the overlapping project among the government department as it happened for longtime.

Need to share with its expert then conclude the next step.
