The GMapCreator is a freeware application designed to make thematic mapping using Google Maps simpler. The application takes a shapefile containing geographic areas linked with attributes and automatically generates a working Google Maps website from the data. It does this by pre-creating all the necessary files and saving them into a directory. Publishing the map on the web is then just a matter of copying files onto a web server, allowing Google Maps to be used with the majority of ISPs.
The following is an example produced using the application:
The data above shows an aggregate of carbon monoxide data collected over a two week period during May 2004 using GPS tracked sensors. In order to produce this map, the sensor logs were converted into a shapefile and loaded into the Google Map Creator. This data forms the worked example installed with the application and the steps required to do this are detailed in the example.
To date, a variety of thematic map for different parts of the world have been produced to test the viability of the application with real data on production web servers.
