Storm Ideas has completed a rich interactive mapping application and web site for the Scottish Government, visualising a wealth of data for the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD).

The SIMD identifies concentrations of deprivation across Scotland. Indexing these areas allows effective targeting of policies and funding with the aim of focusing on concentrated areas. The mapping application incorporates a broad range of data indicators covering areas such as income, health, education and crime and is publically available through the SIMD website.  In addition, it is hoped that the application can be shared and adapted for use by stakeholders both within the Scottish Government, and Local Authorities and NHS boards.

When I started looking at the VE control, it was apparent that the control was missing some features related to data binding:  I wanted to bind the coordinates returned from the Stores Service to shapes in the Map Layer, use a data templates to define what each store shape would look like, and synchronize the selection of stores in a listbox to the center of the map.
