Thematic Mapping Engine for Google Earth


Thematic Mapping Engine (TME) enables you to visualise global statistics on Google Earth. The primary data source is UNdata. The engine returns a KMZ file that you can open in Google Earth or download to your computer.

The goal of this project is to investigate and show how geobrowsers can be used for thematic mapping. It is initialised by a master’s thesis in Geographical Information Science at University of Edinburgh.

It is really a helpul tool to ceate a impressive thematic map very fast. The only problem until now is that you have no possibility to use your own statistical data.
