Microsoft has teamed up with National Geographic to bring NatGeo’s Global Action Atlas to Bing Maps.
Global Action Atlas is a crowd-sourcing project whereby NatGeo is enabling Internet users to learn, share and contribute towards a variety of global efforts. With Bing Maps, you can know about efforts in your area of interest and then you can head over to GAA’s website to make a donation or participate as a volunteer. Screenshot:
The various efforts are categorized as:
- Conservation
- Humanitarian
- Cultures
- Exploration
- Climate Change
- Energy
You can access the Global Action Atlas apps from the Map Apps menu at the bottom of the left sidebar.
