And Then There Was…..One?
For this blog I had intended to write an in-depth analysis of efforts of Google and Navteq related to the map compilation strategies they use to produce navigation quality map databases.  However, I have decided to focus on the major differences in their approaches, namely field observation and the use of [...]]]></description>

The only spare time I had last month was spent on a presentation that I made at the New York State [...]]]></description>

Please read yesterday’s blog before reading this one.  It will make a lot more sense if you do.
Based on my experience with the Map Maker described in yesterday’s blog, the edit system is deeply flawed, at least in its present incarnation.   Just so you know that all of those edits really happened [...]]]></description>

Last Tuesday was a scary day for me.  After listening to a Discovery Channel show about how the Pacific Coast of the United States was the next in line for a catastrophic earthquake, I decided to pay my California Earthquake Insurance, which was billed at $666.

I’ve finally revived from my long winter nap, hoping that something interesting would have happened in the world of location while I was “sleeping”.
