The Zenbu data includes some interesting points-of-interest under a Creative Commons license, such as petrol stations NZ-wide. The one layer from NZOpenGPS so far is an improved road centrelines, based originally on the LINZ road centrelines.

Basic statistics and results sorting

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Layers on Koordinates now have some basic popularity statistics listed beneath the price:

A ‘view’ is someone visiting a layer detail page; a ’select’ is counted when someone adds a layer to a selection.

To accompany these basic statistics, we’ve introduced some simple sorts you can apply to lists of layers:

Recently Added: newly uploaded layers will appear first.

Most Viewed: layers with high view counts will appear first.

Most Selected: layers selected the most will appear first.
