GISuser Spotlight... Ecosystem Sounds + KML = Wild Sanctuary Soundscapes - Recall users of Google Earth and Google maps can also listen to their data... At last year's Where2.0 event Bernie Krause of the Wild Sanctuary announced that he's sharing his vast collection of soundscapes with the World. So what you might think... well, think about this... this is likely one of the largest private collections of digital sounds of wildlife and various ecosystems that you'll ever find. Even better, the soundscapes are being shared via KML so now users of Google earth can enjoy listening to their 3D mapping experience while being immersed in the sounds of nature. The soundscapes are also available via Google Maps and have been recently updated. >> See Also GISuser Spotlights HERE; 10 Cool Things; Favorite Things; GIS Data Tips & Tutorials.
