More on Using Google Maps for Advocacy
January 19th, 2007
Will with onNYTurf writes in with more examples of Google Maps (he did the backend work on the hospital closure map from a couple of days ago), in particular one that shows which city councilors oppose or support a New York City proposal to limit the right of free assembly. Other maps are here, more good examples of how an advocacy campaign can use mapping applications to illustrate a point.

Thanks for that powerful piece of information on using Google Maps to illustrate hospital closures in New York. These were very powerfully used to clearly support the argument.
I think the quality use of charts; images and maps make for compelling statements. They enrich and add to a powerful medium.
