Where are you listening? - The Map
UPDATE: Thanks to all who contributed to the map. As Eddie mentioned submission of postcodes is now closed. However, if you posted a letter to us before the deadline we'll post that even if the Christmas mail delays its arrival at PM towers. EDDIE ADDS on 31 Dec: We are still getting a regular stream of postcodes sent to us. We're sorry but nothing we received after thje Friday before Christmas will be added to the current map. Though who knows what we'll do in future!
GEORGE WRITES:
Here's the map we discussed on the programme this week. We asked you to tell us where you were listening and you responded in droves. We've received 17,000+ 22,000+ emails at the last count, and so far we've added about four eight nineteen thousand them all.
The best place to see the map is on . This is a free programme but requires an install. Once it is installed on your computer you can view the map by clicking here.
You can also see the locations on Google Maps, but due to the large number of markers, it won't show all the pins at one time, and tends to be less precise than in Google Earth. To see more pins, simply zoom in and out to the general area you would like to view, using the '+' and '-' controls in the top-left-hand corner of the map.
We want to 'mashup' this data with other interesting sources, so let us know in the comments if there's any interesting data we could mix this up with. You can also mashup the data yourself in Google Earth - tell us if you do so and we'll highlight the best ones here on the blog.
UPDATE: Chris says: I took a trip around Google Earth with Eddie. A little hard to translate something so visual into sound..so here is a video of our route.
We mentioned a couple of things to see. The , you can also watch . Rising sea levels are For other interesting things to see in Googe Earth tryor
