[Geoip-general] Tool for making maps

[James M. <jma...@ps...>]

Hi all.

I am one of the lead developers on a mapping toolkit, yesterday I started 
playing with GeoIP in the hope that I would be able to produce maps from it.

I thought people might be interested in seeing the first results of my 
experiments, you can see some samples at:
http://www.geotools.org/visitors.html

The maps show the visitors from the past hour to the geotools.org web site.

I should perhaps have posted this to the Java specific list as that is the 
api that I used to do this, but I thought the ability to make maps would be 
generically interesting to people.

The tool I produced is quite easy to use, you pass it a list of IPs, colors 
and intervals and it produces an image of the size and format that you want.

It could do with a bit of tidying up, but I don't have much spare time to 
work on it but if anyone is interested in having maps on their site I'd be 
happy to help them get off the ground with the toolkit.

All the best

James
