Hi Brad,

We'd need to know more about what format they're in. Is it CSV? Tab-
delimited?

If you're a coder, this article might help you get started:

Otherwise, this is a great site to check:

Mano,
Thanks for the reply I have these crime stats which appear like
this...

The data files are in the standard comma-delimited .txt file format
that can be accommodated by the majority of computer research and GIS
applications

I'm try to find a quick way to make nice crime stat maps in Google
Earth.

thanks for the help, I think I'm already making progress.

Brad
