Kind of looks like a Kernel Density test used in avanced GIS. For our purposes we would use the location data collected from animal tracking collars (deer, elk, bear, etc.) and plug the coordinates into the mapping program ESRI ArcMap. The test would produce areas ranging from low to high based on the density of points over the study area. The information could be used to predict the vegetation, topography, and movement periods the animal favors.

You know why the swearing is so high in Southern California?  There is about 3 Marine Corps Bases down here, all three of them being the largest that the Marine Corps has....

That will explain a lot.

it costs next to nothing to get this data, its just a few lines of coad. change the search terms and you can get geo data for pretty much anything, which for marketing purposes is immensely valuable.

The yellow area near toronto also has ft drum in it.....if you have ever been there you will know why it's higher....oh if there is a hell o. Earth it would be there during winter.

Looking at that map gives me bad dreams of supporting Arcview, Claritas Compass, and Mapinfo.

Anyone can make a map or that will suit thier needs by using switching around "median" rather than "average" and other tricks or having small differences show up as large.

My customers were all the news services and magazines in north america and our software "claritas compass" spanned across 38 cdroms.

They finally went to a browser based product.

My main pc at work ran WFW3.11, NT3.51, NT4.0, Win95 osr2, and win98SE.
