Hello. 

Just a quick but big THANK YOU to all contributors to this group for your 
invaluable help getting our live game sightings map of Kruger Park in South 
Africa.

It's launched (www.krugerlive.com) and getting about 4,000 visits a day. 
The sightings are generated by park users with our iOS and Android app - 
now the number 1 selling travel app in South Africa. 

We share the sightings data (see www.krugerlive.com/historic.html) with the 
Endangered Wildlife Trust and the University of Cape Town's Zoology 
Department to track dispersal and population densities of rare predators, 
such as the African Wild Dog. App users can also add signs of suspicious 
activity, such as poaching, immediately to the map, including a photo and 
exact location. We then share this with the wildlife protection agencies in 
the park.

Anyway, we believe it's a really interesting, innovative and useful 
implementation of Fusion Tables, Maps and Android. Using Analytics we can 
see that people from all around the world (97 countries!) like to "watch" 
wild African unfold in real time, spending over 3 mins on the map each 
time. We're hope to roll out to other parks before too long.

Anyway, thanks again for your help and patience with my stupid questions!

Rob
