Show/World Mapping Tool
Similar to WorldMapper, this cool Flash-enabled tool allows you to selct a subject from the top menu and watch the countries on the map change their size. Instead of land mass, the size of each country will represent the data for that subject --both its share of the total and absolute value. [Thanks, Tim Zak]
Data is contributed by the top world relief and presevation organizations, including UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the World Bank.
SHOW USA, the 50-state version, has now launched. It works the same way as SHOW WORLD - browse data sets and an animated cartogram appears.
SHOW USA has 141 data sets and counting - everything from strawberry production to foreclosures to Bigfoot sightings.
Browse, get datasets, images, or embed animations - all free.
Go to show.mappingworlds.com and pick SHOW USA to get there.
