North Korea Uncovered is a product of the North Korean Economy Watch blog. The data set contains 1,000′s of placemarks showing the locations of various governmental and commercial areas in North Korea. The locations are all nicely organized by the type of location and the data appears to be updated regularly.
 Map the Fallen is a project created by Sean at the Google Earth Outreach team. In short, this project displays information related to American and Coalition servicemen and women that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’d also like to take a moment to say thanks to all our men and women in uniform. You are all in our prayers and I hope everyone comes home soon.
Collection of crop circle locations compiled and kept up to date by members of the Google Earth Community. Crop circles are created by alien spacecraft when they visit the Earth. Or maybe it’s just farmers with a little too much time on their hands. Works of art or aliens trying to communicate with us…you be the judge.
The World Wide Panorama project is a collection of 360 degree panoramic photographs from all over the world. Each photograph is represented by a placemark. Click on the placemark to view the panoramic photograph in your browser window.
This network link will display nearby geotagged photos in Google Earth. These feeds all update dynamically as you move the view around in Google Earth. The following feeds are included:
If you know of any other feeds such as these, please post a comment so I can add it.
This collection contains the locations of various sites throughout the world having something to do with nuclear power or nuclear weapons. These original data originated from many different sources, which I have combined into a single, easy to use network link. Includes the following:
If you know of any other data that would be good to add to this collection, please post a comment. Also, this data was compiled by several different people using many different publicly available sources. The data likely contains errors/omissions and may be out dated. Please visit the various individual web pages listed below to report errors/omissions or to find out how the data was compiled.
Colored polygons of of each country in the world with links to the applicable CIA World Factbook page. Click on a country see a pop up a balloon with a picture of that country’s flag and a link to the country’s CIA World Factbook page. You can also enable the locations of all the country capitals. I created this by “borrowing” elements from previous work done by Valery35 (Country Names), mcshea98 (Country Polygons), and Filipumme (World Capitals) at the Google Earth Community, so most of the credit goes to them.
USGS ShakeMaps provide near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes throughout the world. The maps show the epicenter of the earthquake and are color coded to show relative ground motion. Individual maps are created for each earthquake event. Unfortunately, the maps must be accessed via their website. But I have created a sampling of several high profile earthquakes in recent years, which can be accessed from below. To find the Google Earth KML version of an individual ShakeMap from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website, click on the name of the Earthquake, then click on Downloads and look under GIS Data on the right hand column for the KML link. Note, that not all of the earthquakes have a KML version.
