GIS application
- We have a variety of exports via our API (linked below) which should be suitable.
- One of our members has written a mini-guide on loading CSV files produced by the site directly into ArcGIS, see the article here.
... contact us if you would like more information!
... with a bit of simple scripting its also possible to use many of the outputs from the API to load data into programs. Let us know if we can be of assistance!
Many other sites also syndicate our images, look out for them on your travels around the web
