Pipes is an interactive data aggregator and manipulator that lets you mashup your favorite online data sources.
The Pipes team is proud to announce two new features that we've been working on that enhance our support for GeoData.
1. First, we added a interactive Yahoo! Map to the runpage of any Pipe containing GeoData. To see this feature in action run the Apartment Near Something Pipe. Here's a still image of what the map looks like:
2. Second, we added an additional output renderer which allows Pipes containing GeoData to be emitted as a KML file. If there's GeoData in a Pipe you can find a link to the KML output at the bottom of a Pipes runpage listed in the Tools section. It's possible to use the KML output in a variety of ways including in Google Earth.
In addition to our enhanced geolocation support there are some other improvements to announce:
You can now inline edit the Title and Description text listed on the runpage for your Pipes.
We've added the ability to filter dates using the options "before" and "after" in the Filter Module. These parameters can accept dates in a variety of relative formats such as "n days ago", "now" , and "today".
