I have compiled a comprehensive list of proven, suspected, and disproven impact craters for all possible impact sites. Several sources were consolidated (see credits), though at this stage my database remains incomplete. The list of impact craters is very close to complete, however, there is still some more to be done (eg fix some icons, check color-coding etc)
This version 0.1 of my database is very well organised, and even contains journal references for each location.
I hope everyone enjoys this as between learning to edit KML and figuring out how to export/import Excel data, this has taken me 25+ hours so far!
Enjoy

PS. anyone who has time to update or help out is most welcome to do so. contact details in title balloon of the layer.

Very nicely done. I particularly like the (radar?) overlays on many of the larger craters, which helps to visualize the crater amid the terrain clutter.

Once I figured out where the "title balloon" was, then I could understand the various types of icons by looking at the key.

Cool stuff, good work. Thanks!

Version 0.2 released

Better layout and more info filled in

v0.27

More images, overlays; updated references

vraiment un bon travail, tr�s int�ressant. merci

hi and welcome ekafeman!

have already seen some impact databases round here, but enjoyed your best.
really nice display and piles of data!

was also glad to see some around my country, Hungary
and here ask you to edit the Hungarian (not Hungaruan) plain mark.

your post has also made me remember two of my contributions.
the first one exists and presents a geomap overlay of the Meggyespuszta, Kasza-Valley possible meteor crater.

the second one was a real surprise for me as it turned out to be not a future post of mine...):
browsing your collection suddenly i realized, some months ago i have made a map overlay for the Silverpit crater just for myself.
now i thought it is time i can upload it through this thread, but had to be "dissapointed" to see, Barnstormer has done it before in their cool one, the impact dataset post and KMZ spiced with great overlays.

thanks this nice one again! (5*s)
keep up the good work!
best and cu,

I have uploaded version 0.295b, which builds off many, many more structures and a lot more new literature sources (c/o D. Rajmon @ http://impacts.rajmon.cz )

There's still various formatting issues which I am still fixing; I can't get my head around learning XML. It is so much harder than HTML, and trying to export Excel data to XML faithfully has been a nightmare!

Anyway guys and gals, enjoy.


PS. edited first post to include v0.295b
