Anyone checked out Google Earth lately? I know, you're kinda tired of the flight simulator, and even the 3D buildings are getting played out. But they really are adding more and more services all the time. (that's where GIS is going; services that are consumed by GIS clients no matter their particular use. Earth is just a streamlined visualization client Google pump out so that idiots like you can have a lick of the GIS cone.) Anyway, I popped it open today to compare the DC Bus routes KML file to the SHP (you guys need to work on the KML symbology) and I noticed a new-looking traffic service in the layers pane. It looks to be the same data source that Maps and Mobile use to create red, yellow and green polyline representation, except its the data collection points themselves. You can click on the points to see some of the underlying data. Yeah, that sample is showing 81 in a 55, cause in DC that's just how we get things done.
