Google Map of Korean Incidents

North Korea v South Korea: Every Incident Mapped

The Guardian newspaper has used Fusion Tables to create a Google Map of over 150 incidents between North and South Korea since the Korean War in 1950. The map uses data from a report by the Congressional Research Service, published in 2007.

The map covers every incident, from diplomatic hostilities, through to the more serious events where people have died. The data is also available to other developers through The Guardian's Data Store.

Sound@Media is a Google Maps based sound map. Users of the map can listen to the everyday sounds of the streets of Seoul directly from the map. The markers on the map show the location where the sounds were recorded.

Google Maps & Silverlight Earthquake Map

Earthquake

Korean Silverlight developers HugeFlow have created this earthquake Google Map using Microsoft's alternative to Flash. The map shows the latest earthquake data from around the world.

The earthquake data comes from the US Geological Society Earthquake and Hazards Program. The latest earthquakes are listed in the map side-panel in order of magnitude. Clicking on the listed earthquakes in the panel will centre the map on the chosen incident.

As well as viewing the earthquake data in Google Maps there is the option to switch to Bing or Yahoo Maps.
