Introducing Dual Maps (now with Google Streetview)

12th March, 2008 Combine Google Maps with Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps. Dual Maps let you compare imagery between the map APIs or use the Virtual Earth bird's eye view (as in the example below of the London Eye). Enter a place name into the search box to view an alternate location.

Dual Maps are free and do not require registration to use - Click Here to get started.

Update: Dual Maps now have Google Streetview as an option for some US cities. Where streetview is available you can now display the ground, satellite and bird's eye view of a location within one control. Here is an example San Francisco map:

About HealthMap

HealthMap brings together disparate data sources to achieve a unified and comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious diseases and their effect on human and animal health. This freely available Web site integrates outbreak data of varying reliability, ranging from news sources (such as Google News) to curated personal accounts (such as ProMED) to validated official alerts (such as World Health Organization). Through an automated text processing system, the data is aggregated by disease and displayed by location for user-friendly access to the original alert. HealthMap provides a jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and international travelers.

HealthMap Visualization

Heat Index: Low High

• Marker color represents a composite score based on the recency of alerts, the number of disease outbreaks, and the number of sources providing information at a particular location. Our algorithm applies an exponential weighting, yielding increased heat (redness) for more recent outbreak news.
• The source of the alert is represented by an icon next to the alert headline.
• The square-shaped marker icon indicates a country-level marker, while state, province and local markers are round . We currently have administrative divisions and some major cities for USA, UK, Canada, China, India, Australia, Mexico and Russia, with more coming soon.
