Warning: a) This program needs to have access to the Internet to query the census database b) This program creates temporary files (make sure it is in a folder, not your desktop) c) You must have Google Earth installed on your computer (Tested on GE Free version 4.0.2091 and last versions)
A web version will be soon online.
This program (with minimum modifications) can be used to explore any other database. If you are from another country, you have a Census dataset and you would like to share it, use the contacts page and let me know it.
