The map is Primary schools only.

When I load it Giralang is now a blue circle and blue dot. If that isn’t the case for you I’d try hitting the refresh/reload button. If this doesn’t work then perhaps you could delete your web browser cache. If that doesn’t work, you may have a web cache that is serving you an old copy, and I can’t help in that case.

Yes it would be possible. There were a couple of reasons I didn’t do this initially.

The first reason was that it was slightly technically challenging, as I didn’t have this data at all integrated, so I’d have to do some sort of pattern matching on the names to get the lat/long data lined up with the other data I have. Or I could do it by hand (yuck!).

The second reason was one of presentation. I wasn’t sure how I’d fit all this info into a popup. Now that I have become a little more proficient at these things I would probably have a separate “info” box as an overlay and vital stats on the schools could appear in there I guess.

Another reason (that I’ve just thought about) is that in essence Google Maps is a pretty basic tool for this sort of work. Some sort of GIS is what is required. In fact, there is a mob (that I used to work for) called Prometheus that make this really powerful piece of software for the Health Department called HealthWiz that would be brilliant for looking at this stuff. I guess I thought anything I could do with Google Maps would be fairly ordinary in comparison.
