Overview
• Mainstream at last!
• A real-time, multimedia view of the world
• Crowdsourcing

Now much easier to include location data
Free or cheap map data
Geocoding Location tracking

Finally, geospatial data is just another data type

Here’s a print of Chinatown, San Francisco.
Instead of gargoyles, we’re using more appropriate bits of icon and text to recognize the corners.
Here you can see that someone has walked around Green Street and noted address information and a few businesses.
This is not information that you’d be able to get from a satellite image.
It’s also information that don’t really need a GPS for: the roads are already in place, but they need extra eye-level information.

The peasants can’t do what they need with Google Maps!
Well let them use ESRI instead!

What about quality?
“OSM quality is beyond good enough, it is a product that can be used for a wide range of activities”

“Creating, maintaining and delivering a comprehensive, high quality map database is a
multi-step, labor-intensive process. We currently employ over 270 employees in our centralized production facility and a global
workforce of over 700 geographic analysts in 32 countries”
