Contest : App-lifying USGS Earth Science Data

OK all you buzztouch gear heads out there! Think you have the chops to create something truly amazing at buzztouch while doing something good as well? Check this contest out: http://applifyingusgsdata.challenge.gov/ Basically, create an app to help understand some of the available datasets from the USGS. Lots of interesting data available to look at! Could be super interesting. You have until April 1 to submit your app. Mark

I may explore it a bit further and see if there's anything I can do! Got a few months to work it all out.

I create Garmin compatible GPS maps for use out here in Guam. My original mapset source data was from the DOT and my original topographical source was from USGS data. Hope I have a chance to look at this closer. Should be interesting regardless! Cheers! -- Smug Hey! These guys are giving out money! that's what I call incentive!

Have you seen the entries so far? Are you impressed? I guess I expected more. The results seem a little dull. I voted for Kim S… she certainly seems to be one bright spark!!
