Hi Natasha, if you were able to upload the file into Finder then it should be ready to download the file from the dataset profile or directly from the search results. I have uploaded the dataset here: http://finder.geocommons.com/overlays... and the KML worked for me in Google earth.

If you make a map in Maker! then you can also download the stylized KML to show the proportional symbols for the dataset. after you've made and saved a map, click the details button in the top right, then download the KML from there.

here is a maker map i made with the data:http://maker.geocommons.com/maps/8467

and a link to the stylized KML:
http://maker.geocommons.com/maps/8467...

let me know if this helps.

Cheers

hi carlos,
we were able to recreate the bugs you were having on our end, and it looks like it was an issue with the original shapefile, although i don't really know what the issue is. we've got some of our developers working on it and will let you know when we get it resolved. it looks like the file only has 17 attributes, which is a manageable amount, we've got some data layers with over 70 attributes.

Cheers

Bill

This looks like its a problem on our side. could you send a link to the layer so that we can try to replicate the bug and get a fix out to you?

thanks for the find!

Thanks for the head up Bob,

this has been fixed.

Bill Greer replied on July 02, 2009 19:37 to the question "Data layers no longer loading when using share link" in GeoCommons:

Hi Leanda,
if the data sets have been set to private then they will not show up in the map.

the other possibility would be that the layers that you added to the map have been deleted.
let me know if this helps, if not i'll try again

Good luck.

Jamey,
i've been asking for this myself. We hope to increase the file upload limits soon, and we'll let you know when we do. thanks for the feedback!

Bill Greer replied on July 02, 2009 15:31 to the question "Why can't my lat/lon data be mapped?" in GeoCommons:

Eric, Is the dataset set to private?
if so, it will not allow you to map, as of right now, all maps are public on GeoCommons, so if you're data is private it will not allow you to map it, beacause this would make your private data available to others.

if you would like to keep the data private you could upgrade to a GeoIQ appliance.

if you would like to make the data public:
in your dataset profile click the 'edit' button.
next click the allow anyone to see data button located just above the dataset description.
Save.

hopefully this helps, if not - let us know and we'll get back to you.

Will request that this gets added to the documentation - thanks for pointing this out.
