I’ve recently discovered that you can view Google Earth maps in the Google Earth app on the iPhone. The attached image was taken this morning on my iPhone, showing an electoral map of central Sydney, with the blue dot showing my GPS location (I was on a bus to Rozelle for some election campaigning).
You can view Google Earth maps on the iPhone (and presumably on other smart phones such as those using Android) by uploading a map to “My Maps” in Google Maps, and then logging in to the Google Earth phone app.
I have uploaded the 2010 federal election maps to my own Google Maps account, and you can access them and add them to your own maps collection at the following links. I have taken all labels and included them in a separate file, allowing you to turn labels on and off as you wish.
- New South Wales
- Victoria
- Queensland
- Western Australia
- South Australia
- Tasmania
- Australian Capital Territory
- Northern Territory

Have you tried the Conservative app that had a swingometer accurate to the UK notional elections for 2005. As I don’t have an iPhone I was not able to see it myself, but understand it has been updated to show the 19 seats that the Conservatives need to gain for an overall majority in 2015.
Ben, I am extremely impressed with the detail on those boundaries. Nice work.
