It seems this site is slightly outdated.

I would like to combine shape file information from Infonatura with Google Maps to show the distribution of about fifty species of birds. There is no funding for this project. I am hoping someone will volunteer time to help me get this running. I am assisting with the site Cracids.org for the conservation of Cracids, which are rare South American birds.

It's quite old, but came in really handy. I stuck with one problem though... and can't seem to find an answer. I downloaded city planning shape files and ran them through the shp2text - everything came out just fine, but the coordinates in the State Plane system, and I can't find anything on how to convert them or use them correctly with Google Maps API. Do you have any ideas about it? Thanks again for a great post! P.S. BTW, what are those numbers "3 4" standing for in the conversion line /shp2text --gpx statesp020.shp 3 4 > output.gpx ?

There's a vast amount of data at http://geodata.grid.unep.ch/: iirc, they have shapefiles of first and second-level administrative boundaries, and a lot of data on population, economics, etc, to go with it. I've been using server-side tools for this kind of thing (e.g. http://www.ohuiginn.net/mt/2006/11/westminsters_map.html), but the next time I have a free afternoon I'll have a bash at doing the same thing as a google maps mashup Thanks for this post; I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to work out how to make density maps with google or yahoo maps.
