Google Map Creator - create google maps from your SHP files

This comes from CASA...The Google Map Creator is a freeware application designed to make thematic mapping using Google Maps simpler. The application takes a shapefile containing geographic areas linked with attributes and automatically generates a working Google Maps website from the data. It does this by pre-creating all the necessary files and saving them into a directory. Publishing the map on the web is then just a matter of copying files onto a web server, allowing Google Maps to be used with the majority of ISPs. Details instructions on how to get up and running are found at http://www.casa.ucl.ac.uk/software/googlemapcreator.asp
