Danny Dorling used Excel to make his Circle Cartograms. Use Lat/Long as x/y in a scatter plot. Use symbols for your variable. Viola! A map! I'll have to set up a Winders box just to see the new Excel mapping stuff Steve is talking about. -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.

The class is for junior-high school kids who are at UCB summer school taking advanced courses in other subjects, and doing the mapping for fun. I'm looking for a easily accessible open source map app that I could teach the students in an hour or so, and that they could easily play and create with for a couple hours after that (only one three hour class will be dedicated to the topic). During other sessions, I'll be teaching remote sensing, GPS, GIS, and classic cartography. Any new cool open source map apps out there that I should know about? Your help is greatly appreciated.
