    Hello:

    Have you considered allowing the ability to compare 2 or more sets of data to be represented on the map? This is what cartography geeks love to do. Where’s a demo site?

    Thanks!

    Sounds like a cool idea and I had not thought of that. No demo site up just yet. What would you want to see in a demo?

    A typical example would be data set 1 is represented as a heatmap and then data set 2 could be represented as a shape/size, pattern, etc. Here is a good example, I uploaded it to imgur so you can see…

    Typical thematic map comparing 2 sets of data.

    So a cool demo would be compare any interesting sets of data that to see if there are correlations. For example, income level vs. crime rate, red/blue state vs. churches per sq. mile, average temperature vs. sexually transmitted diseases, the list goes on and on…

    US Census provides tons of data which can be expored/imported via CSV. Also Google Trends is a great resource for gathering data via CSV for import to maps.

    Would be cool if you could make the plugin coordinate with Table Press or Ninja Tables plugins:
