It’s good to see that the crime activity in Atlanta is in mapping.. By these, they would be able to take measures on how to solve or lessen those crimes..

@Ben, I basically imported the big csv file into its own MySQL table then imported that into the Ushahidi DB via PHP with all the validations.

David, Thanks for the response. Yes, getting data is quite a pain. Some cities are starting to follow the federal government's data.gov lead and open their data up. If you want to grab some more, check out San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, and New York's data stores. Metro Mapper actually 100% runs off the Your Mapper API which lets developers tap into all our data. It's a niched site for Louisville, KY, just like another site we run, NYC BigMaps, is a niched site for New York City as part of their BigApps contest. Feel free to tap our API to grab data on the fly. The API is powerful enough that we even use it run most of Your Mapper itself. Brian is a stand-up guy, no?
