The Bath Schools Map is designed to help parents choosing schools in Bath, in the UK, by displaying local schools and admissions and performance data on Google Maps.
In Bath parents are only allowed to indicate 3 schools as a preference for their children. Using the map it is possible to find the nearest ten schools and compare their academic mini-league tables on a range of metrics with a sidebar. This helps parents make school choices from a broad base of information rather than gearing towards a single metric.
GeoBus
Geobus is a nice little app that can find the nearest bus-stops for any location in the UK. Just enter a postcode or use the 'locate me' button and the nearest bus-stops to your current location will be displayed on a Google Map.
The application was developed as part of the recent Young Rewired State initiative.
England's Health Data Map
The Guardian has used Fusion Tables to map the latest Health Profiles data from the Department of Health and the Public Health Observatories.
Using the Google Map it is possible to compare a number of health indicators for regions in the UK. For example, it is possible to view child obesity throughout the UK or view where the most people die from smoking.
