CT Teen Births and Poverty Level

Mon, 3 Aug 2009 18:43:00 +0200

The number of births to females ages 15-17 per 1,000 females for that age group on a town or county. The rate is calculated by dividing the number of females 15 through 17 years old who gave birth by the total number of females in that age group in a town or county and multiplying by 1,000. The total number of females 15 through 17 years old is estimated by applying the 2000 Census proportions to the population estimates from the Connecticut Department of Public Health for those years. The birth rate of 18-19 year-old girls in not reported because the number of females in this age group is skewed in towns with colleges. Similarly, births to females under age 15 have been excluded because there are very few for this group (about 60 per year). This inclusion of females under 15 in the denominator would dramatically lower the rate, giving an underestimate of the risk for births to teenagers. The poverty level represents the number of families per 100 families with at least one children under 18.

August new layers

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 05:26:00 +0200

3 new very nice (and big) layers today. The 'Oceans and Seas', just so you can add the oceans and sea names on your maps and the 'Depth Contours' also for cosmetic purposes. The third one is the main 'Built Areas' of the world. All three layers come from biogeo.berkley.edu and can be found in the World folder under 'Add a layer'.

Draw your own layers !!!

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:45:00 +0200

We launched today a brand new feature on MapsGeek: you can now draw your own layers! We're using Openlayers which works really well. The layers you create can then be used just like any other, you can even make them public so other users can use them or modify them as well. Have fun!

Upload your geometry

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:48:00 +0200

On MapsGeek, as the representation of your data you have the choice between the layers already present on the website, use a WMS layer or upload your own geometry. So far you could only upload an ESRI Shapefile, well, this is over. We've extended the list of possible formats to most of the known GIS formats out there, including KML, MapInfo, TIGER and so on !

We're on Twitter !

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:15:00 +0200

You can now follow us on twitter: @mapsgeek

Query your maps

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:50:00 +0200

A new functionality is being tested right now. A new check box called info appeared on the map interface, when checked, your map becomes queryable.

The map is also queryable via the public interface, the information window can be moved, it's sometimes misplaced at startup but we're working on it.

You can give us feedback on the forum.

Add a background

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:30:00 +0200

We just added a feature to use an uploaded picture as a background for your maps. It's being tested right now, if there's too much abuse we'll turn it off.

We understand it's also a possible way to create the most ugly maps on the web but when used wisely it can actually be looking pretty good.

Cosmetics

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:43:00 +0200

The new 'Show cosmetics' option in the map interface allow you add the cosmetic layer (title, legend, scalebar...) on the preview map. It makes it easier to view the final result.

Setting the extent

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:54:00 +0200

We know that setting the map extent is a bit painful with OpenLayers (that's the system we use) especially with the zoom factor set. Well, there's some improvement, you can now set the extent to a layer's extent. That sounds complicated but it's simpler than it sounds. Try it !

Gravatar

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:30:00 +0200

MapsGeek now uses Gravatar, a Globally Recognized Avatar system ! So if you don't upload any picture as an avatar on MapsGeek, your Gravatar can be used instead !

US Zip Codes

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:10:00 +0200

I saw that someone wanted to make a map based on the US Zip Codes. I'm slowly uploading them. That should be ready within 4/5 days (real life catching up this weekend). The codes are split by States, that should be highly sufficient but if someone needs a continental Zip codes layer please let me know in the forum. Hope this will help !

Regions Layer

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:44:00 +0200

I just uploaded a big layer with all the regions of the world. By regions, I mean the first level administrative regions. That's the States for the USA, the Regions in France, the Departamientos in Bolivia and so on... The layer is too big to be used on the world scale but quite nice when zoomed down to a continent or a country.

The layer is located in the 'World' folder when you add a layer

And I'm nearly done uploading the US Zip codes !

WMS Support

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:56:00 +0200

We now have WMS support for all the public maps on MapsGeek. That means you can view the maps on your favorite WMS client !
