Abstract

Geospatial data visualization is significantly changing the way we view spatial data and discover information. On the one hand, a large number of spatial data, which carry extremely valuable information, are generated on daily basis. On the other hand, these data are not well utilized due to the lack of free and easily used data visualization tools. This paper describes a way of visualizing massive spatial data at no cost by utilizing publically available visualization tools like Google Earth. We illustrate our methods by visualizing a million global download requests for satellite images maintained by the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
