Maps made for cars don‘t make too much sense

for mobile humans.

United Maps Vehicle Maps don‘t make too much sense on personal mobile devices

Conventional maps focus on vehicle traffic and streets: » no detail on pedestrian level » no multimodal navigation » random house footprints » few relevant POIs

Mobile devices have different usecases.

Users expect better maps.

United Maps United Maps fills gaps in maps.

» large scale = deep zoom » public transport » seamless multimodal

navigation » pathes, walkways and trails » precise house footprints » exact addresses » comprehensive content

Better maps = better apps.

United Maps Better Maps = Better Apps

Maps make the difference.

United Maps Better Maps.

» cities: up to 50% density » rural: up to 300% more

streets, pathways and trails » attributes conserved » fully navigable » professional topology

• White lines are basedata sets - red lines is United Maps better maps with dramatically enhanced streets and pedestrian features.

United Maps Mobile multimodal navigation on a human scale

» algorithmic merging and matching of vector data sets

» licenced data from Navteq or Tele Atlas (no mashup)

» addition and completion of missing features and layers

» perpetual, dynamic updates » unique content

United Maps Conventional field research and processing is expensive

Conventional field research requires reasonable perpetual effort and resources.

In 2007, Navteq alone spent $336m for map updates.

2006: 275$m

2005: 236$m

2004: 197$m Turner, A. and Forrest, B., (2008) Where 2.0 - The state of the Geospatial Web. page 6. http://cachefly.oreilly.com/radar/research/Where2.0_excerpt.pdf

United Maps We use smart software instead of driving roads.

Primary maps from Navteq or Tele Atlas are matched, merged and extended with supplemental data.

The result are truely pedestrian maps for mobile usecases in an unseen map quality.

Highly detailed, hyperlocal maps.

United Maps Crowd Mapping produces results

OpenStreetMap quickly generates maps for populated areas.

Great Idea! » professional quality? » routable? » comprehensive feature sets? » commercial products? » coverage? » precision? » reliability? » Hype?

United Maps How we do it: Algorithmic Conflation

UM licences vector data from market leaders and deploys a proprietary algorithm ... » to automatically match vector data

sets, geometries and attributes » with a precision of 95% correct

positive matches resulting in ... » a fully navigable topological

network based on primary data

Original primary data is left untouched. Nodes are expanded to attach new, previously missing pathways, conserving all attributes.

What UM doesn‘t do: » layering > original topology is

expanded, nodes and vertices are added

» photogrammetry > pixel images aren‘t vectorized: we licence original and secondary vector data

» field research > we don‘t do field checks

United Maps primary data + cadastral data

• ATKIS is a set of official german cadastre data that is conflated with the street network data from Navteq or Tele Atlas. Every country has cadastre data. Quality and/or availability varies.

United Maps primary + cadastre = United Maps

• Two vector data sets are conflated into a single, more precise and comprehensive dataset. All attributes are conserved, the street networks becomes denser and remains fully navigable. A wealth of additional metadata is added.

United Maps Anyone can do that?

The U.S. has a centralized, public domain dataset maintained by the US Census Bureau.

TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing), the equivalent of 57.000 topographical maps is “out of date, idiosyncratic and mostly incompatible“*. But at least there is something.

United Maps Technology + Workflow

The EU has neither centralized nor free data but thousands of authorities and agencies.

European federalism, cultural and language barriers and completely heterogenous data makes mapping a bit trickier.

We do maps since 30 years.

United Maps Where United Maps comes from

United Maps‘ staff produced european and worldwide maps for more than 30 years. Some of us made Carto Travel, formerly Germany‘s mapping market leader: cartography, GIS, editorial processing and licencing is our profession.

» Feb 2008: founded » Sep 2008: (seed-)funded » Nov 2008: started operations

• We closely work with a german university on academic projects and currently employ 15 experts at 2 locations in Munich and Eisenach, Germany.

• The first product, a hyperlocal and fully navigable vector map of Germany will be released as UM-DE in April 2009.

United Maps Automatic Conflation Results Rural

primary dataset | secondary dataset | UM automated match

• A primary dataset is algorithmically conflated and hence merged with a secondary dataset.

• For practical reasons and sequential processing, this is done by tiling an area into 5x5 km segments.

• UM-DE consists of 15k technical tiles.

•

United Maps Automatic Conflation Results Suburban

• In rural areas, an up to 300% gain in additional roads and pedestrian pathes is achieved.

• In sub-/urban areas, the enhancement varies up to 50% depending on the timeliness of primary and secondary data.

• Red is the fully automatically matched vectors.

• Blue is defined as the primary base vector set


United Maps Automatic Conflation Results Suburban

• After a completely automated first run, the majority of points and lines are positively matched: corresponding geometry is met.

• Despite its 95% precision, the current release of the algorithm still produces artefacts that need to be processed in a second run.
