Shows the world’s earthquakes during the last 24 hours. Blue markers are small magnitude quakes, red markers are large magnitude.
Data updates every 30 seconds and comes from here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/
GPX is the standard XML format used to store routes, tracks, waypoints and other data for GPS units.
I’m working on a parser in AS3 that will load a GPX file and expose all the information inside as ActionScript objects. See a test using Google Maps below.
Click “Load” to load the file from my server (this is a file containing a short bike ride around Victoria, BC), or click “Browse…” to load your own GPX file.
I haven’t tested this very extensively, so if your file has features that mine doesn’t, it may fail. If it does, please leave a comment! I’ll be uploading this to Google Code as soon as I do some more tests.
Note: you’ll need Flash Player 10 to use the browse button.
