Google Map of Korean Incidents

North Korea v South Korea: Every Incident Mapped

The Guardian newspaper has used Fusion Tables to create a Google Map of over 150 incidents between North and South Korea since the Korean War in 1950. The map uses data from a report by the Congressional Research Service, published in 2007.

The map covers every incident, from diplomatic hostilities, through to the more serious events where people have died. The data is also available to other developers through The Guardian's Data Store.

The Sounds of Seoul on Google Maps

Sound@Media

Here's a nice start to the week. Take a leisurely virtual stroll around Seoul listening to the street sounds of the South Korean capital.

Sound@Media is a Google Maps based sound map. Users of the map can listen to the everyday sounds of the streets of Seoul directly from the map. The markers on the map show the location where the sounds were recorded.

If you live in Seoul and you want to add your own sound recordings you can do so using Audioboo.
