BlueGhost Integrates GeoRSS Maps

The BlueGhost Project nows uses Google Maps Enhancements to provide up to the minute Travel Incidents across the UK.

Clicking on the blueghost.co.uk inside the icon info window will link to a new map of just that selected area.



Markers Represent there is a Incident and the Lines Represent the Road is Closed.

This works very well with live data and shows the full potential of GeoRSS feeds - providing users with up-to-date information.

Well Done to Michael Pritchard (Blueghost creator) for creating this and other very useful data feeds that are displayed in map form.

This file is returned to your browser with the proper MIME type for Google Earth,
and upon submission it may open up in Google Earth immediately.
If not, you will be prompted to save a file that is in Google KML format.
Some browsers (Like FireFox) may give the file a .php extension so rename the file to a .kml, which will open in Google Earth.
