Over the years at that spot conduct keep been many, many Flickr maps built alongside the Google Maps API. Luminous Cities is in all likelihood the best yet.
Luminous Cities allows users to visualise Flickr information for a release of major cities worldwide on Google Maps. The Luminous Cities maps supply a platform for users to explore Flickr information past times location, time, tags as well as release of views. The application thus has a large release of possible uses, for trial it tin hold upwards used to explore the locations where most photos are taken inwards major urban areas.
Using the time-line filter it is possible to explore how pop photography locations alter over time. It too allows users to explore specific events, for trial photos uploaded during the 2012 London Olympics.

Since 2006 the Asia Foundation has undertaken a yearly survey inwards Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan to stair out how Afghan citizens assess their country’s future.
In the survey Afghans are asked a release of questions including, "Is Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan headed inwards the correct direction?". The Asia Foundation has similar a shot released a Google Map that visualises the results of the survey past times share as well as past times year. Visualizing Afghanistan: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Survey of the Afghan People allows the user to persuasion the results for each query as well as compare the results given past times twelvemonth as well as past times region.
Mapping Protest Data is a Google Map of worldwide protests this year. The map uses 2013 protestation information from the Global Data of Events.
The rut map shows a high degree of protests throughout Europe as well as the Middle East. If you lot zoom inwards on the map you lot are able tin come across private points. You tin click on the points to persuasion to a greater extent than information almost the specific place as well as the release of protestation events.
The creator of the map, John Beiler, has blogged almost how the map was created as well as fifty-fifty has a theory almost the lack of protests shown past times the map inwards the US.
