Once collected, aggregated, and published, the 2010 U.S. census provided rich insights into the makeup and distribution of the U.S. population. However the resulting demographics, which cover all 50 states, over 3,000 counties, over 70,000 census tracts, and over 200,000 block groups, are extremely challenging to obtain and visualize on a map.<br /><br />Today we are making U.S. demographics visualization accessible and easy for our Google Maps API for Business customers with the launch of the new <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/demographics">Demographics Layer</a> in Maps API v3.

Today I’m going to share some exciting details on our plans to make our cloud technology available for processing and serving geospatial data. <br /><br />Over the past six years, the way we explore the world has changed dramatically. Online tools like Google Earth and Google Maps have given people the ability to easily view rich geographic information from desktop or mobile devices. <a href="http://earth.google.com">Google Earth</a> helps us understand the effects of climate change on our ecosystem, Street View provides a panorama of our neighborhoods, and <a href="//www.google.com/mobile/navigation/index.html">Google Maps Navigation</a> guides us home.<br /><br />However, in the enterprise a lot of geospatial data remains trapped on costly servers and inaccessible to those who need it. We’d like to help free that data and bring the same benefits that consumers have enjoyed for years to businesses and government agencies. <br /><br />So we created <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/earthmaps/builder.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=launch_ent">Google Earth Builder</a>. It lets you upload, process and store your geospatial data in our cloud. Your employees can use familiar tools - Google Maps and Google Earth - to easily and securely share and publish mapping data. No technical expertise or GIS training is required. The benefits of Earth Builder’s 100% web approach include:<br /><ul><br /><li><span style="font-weight:bold;">Anytime, Anywhere Access</span>: view your maps from any computer or Internet-enabled device</li><br /><li><b>Speed & Scale:</b> process your complex geospatial data quickly and efficiently; effortlessly scale to manage traffic spikes (for example, in cases of emergency)</li><br /><li><b>Lower Cost:</b> significantly reduce IT costs and eliminate time spent buying, maintaining and patching software and servers</li><br /><li><b>Constant Innovation:</b> just refresh the browser for the latest features</li><br /><li><b>Secure Storage & Recovery:</b> no longer worry about storage limits and backups; data is backed up to multiple data centers for near-instant recovery</li><br /></UL><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="525" height="320" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PcX54Z6Zuy0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Whether you have terabytes of imagery or just a few basemap layers, now you can create multiple map layers from your data, such as shapefiles of demographic data, spreadsheets of worldwide customer locations and files of your recently acquired imagery for a new development. You can also integrate the map layers with our own imagery basemap, road data, Google Street View, Terrain View, or Directions in order to find your next best store location. <br /><br />Geo has been a big area of investment for us. The <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html">Google Maps API</a> delivers more maps to more people every day than any other service, and <a href="http://earth.google.com">Google Earth</a> has more than 700 million downloads.
