  My current research - putting bird flu on the map. Done by one US university. It's using Google map technology, but doesn't seem to be updated, judging from the data I'm able to obtain.
  
  WHO may be interested in it (I have no idea, as far as I know, WHO is interested in all sorts of technology to keep bird flu under control), as a way to track down bird flu and the other types of bird flu that are currently spreading around the different continents.
  
  This map will be shared around governments, WHO as well as scientists involved in the research of bird flu.
  
  And by the definition of bird flu, it doesn't restrict to just H5N1 strain. There are other strains as well, but it's just that only H5N1 is called bird flu.
  
  GPS using Google maps - not so sure. For those into wireless wardriving, Google maps can be a useful technology.

  Sell it? No. One US university has already done it. The main thing is to get this map updated and perhaps improve it. Data, not publicly available. So can't really update it. Improve? Yes. The US done map is freaking ugly and hard to use, unlike Google map, although it's based on that.
  
  Currently, it's just some work I'm toying with, not for real. I would go mad if I do this for real.
  
  Chunks and chunks of data, coding, etc. No way.
