Blog - Google Maps, the gateway to local search - map is becoming much more than a map Posted on May 15, 2008
More observations from Where2.0 - a theme I picked on at this year's event was that the map is becoming much more than a map, rather, its now the UI of choice, even a platform of choice. Google is a fine example of this as we see the emergence of Google on Maps (as opposed to Google Maps).
Google Earth + ArcGIS - ArcGIS plugs-in support for the Geoweb Posted on May 15, 2008
At Where2.0 this week many of the "GISers" were wondering why ESRI seemed to only have a 5 minute spot scheduled on the stage - of interest though was that Jack was there on Monday taking in the show.
Blog - More Rumsy Maps via Google Earth Posted on May 12, 2008
A natural fit, David Rumsey and Google have partnered to make even more of the awesome historical map collection available via a Google Earth layer...
Blog - TerrasServer.com VS Microsoft TerrasServer USA Posted on May 09, 2008
I have to admit, I've wondered about this one for years. I recall stumbling onto the Microsoft resource and wondered "how can they do this"? Apparently TerraServer.com wonders the same thing!
GIS user group meet, Loveland, CO - Mobile GIS, still a hot topic Posted on May 09, 2008
It was good to get out of the office and meet some of the local GISers yesterday as I spent the afternoon a This group meets quarterly (roughly) and discusses who's doing what and has special speakers to entertain and inform.
GeoBC - gateway to B.C's information via Google Earth Posted on May 02, 2008
I was interested to notice that GeoBC is a sponsor of this year's GeoWeb conference. Even though I'm from BC (since departed) I wasn't familiar with the name. GeoBC is the Province's gateway to integrated Crown land and resource management data and information services.
