Ten years of mapping 04/27/2004 06:55 PM

I'm posting this mostly as a reminder to myself to look into this: Tagging photos to GPS data tracks.

Apparently he got this working with a digital rebel like mine, a powerbook, and a $300 GPS unit. I'd love to have a map of the world at the end of my Ten Years project, populated with locations where all 3,650 images were taken.

Collaborative Mapping

Collaborative Mapping 01/07/2004 02:04 PM
Edward Mac Gillavry has a paper on collaborative mapping that comes at the idea from a different angle than does Matt Haughey's suggestion that someone combine a mapping system with a Slashdot-like system to do collaborative routing: Collaborative mapping is an initiative to collectively produce models of real-world locations online that people can then access and use to virtually annotate locations in space. Mac Gillavry points to two aspects of collaborative mapping: 1. Generating maps by mapping with your feet, so to speak. For example, at Waag.org, you can see maps of Amsterdam generated by aggregating data from people carrying...

Mapping the News

Mapping the News 08/03/2004 09:13 AM
This is a beta of "News Maps" from NewsIsFree. The image, created by a Java applet, shows a "technology news map" of current event in the tech sphere. Here's how NewsIsFree describes the site:

NewsKnowledge and The Hive Group have joined forces to bring you News Maps, visual maps of the NewsIsFree headline database. News Maps allow you to quickly scan dozens of news articles and instantly understand what's being reported all over the world. Each square in the News Map is an article. You can obtain additional detail on each article by moving your mouse over it. You can read an article by clicking on it. The Hive Group's Honeycomb algorithm organizes news headlines by source. Size and Color information indicate article age and popularity. You can easily filter and rearrange you results to view articles that meet certain criteria, or that contain certain text.

This kind of mapping isn't an entirely new idea. And the potential, for now, seems greater than the achievement. But this is an intriguing approach to making the daily information flood a little less intimidating and a little more manageable. I'll be watching with interest. (Cross-posted to We the Media.)

Open Source Mapping

Open Source Mapping 07/11/2004 12:35 AM

The one piece of software I've found no open source equivalent for is Microsoft Streets & Trips. It's an invaluable tool for planning trips to places you've never been to. The main reason there's no open-source version (as far as I know) is that the mapping data itself is proprietary. Firms have spent a lot of money digging through municipal records, driving roads, and keeping things up to date. That takes a lot of infrastructure, which means that the resulting data product isn't something you're going to give away for free. Most current applications that use GIS have to pay some sort of royalty for the data.

That's why I was interested to hear that the first annual Open Source GIS Conference is being held in Ottawa this weekend.

In recent years, the GIS industry has witnessed dramatic growth in the development and adoption of open source technologies. The technical GIS community adopted open source technology relatively early, and now mainstream GIS and broader IT industries have come on board as open source products have matured. Organizations are realizing the value of incorporating open source software as a core part of their business.

From reading the proceedings, it even sounds like the University of Minnesota is providing an online map server. Perhaps some time next year I'll be able to post about reclaiming my Windows install.

Open Topic Mapping

Open Topic Mapping 04/24/2004 11:42 AM

Some of my favorite people are getting pinged!

I couldn't agree more!

Combined project for topic mapping in blogging?.

I mentioned in my last post that one of my ongoing interests is topic mapping in weblogs. Topic Exchange and K-Collector are two initiatives that I've hyped a lot over the last year. However the blogosphere still doesn't have a mainstream topic-mapping application - and I mean mainstream as in Technorati or Bloglines, apps that are used by a large percentage of bloggers.

Seb Paquet recently re-opened the conversation on topic-mapping in blogs, and Rogers Cadenhead and Dave Winer have been talking about it, so it's on peoples minds. I'd like to suggest the following...

We need to meld the best features of Topic Exchange and K-Collector.

Topic Exchange and K-Collector each has its strengths. K-Collector has a great add-on for Radio Userland, which allows you to easily select relevant topics and add them to the community server. Topic Exchange requires you to send a trackback ping to its server for each topic, which makes it more open and extensible but also more effort for the blogger. Topic Exchange has a strong user community - it's like an open source project. K-Collector seems to be aiming at a corporate market and so that's where their development focus is I think. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it does mean I'm more emotionally attached to Topic Exchange these days.

So the two development efforts can learn from each other. For example, it'd be great if Topic Exchange can automate its ping process a bit more (I'll try and think more about this, so I can offer some potential solutions), and K-Collector can keep the blogosphere in the loop regarding its continued development (e.g. more updates, especially to the mailing list).

I wonder if it's worthwhile merging Topic Exchange and K-Collector? There is so much talent in each project, but perhaps topic mapping has its best chance of gaining mainstream acceptance if we work under one umbrella "project". What do you reckon, am I getting all hippie about this or is a combined project a viable solution?

Google UK Goes Local, Gets Mapping

Google UK Goes Local, Gets Mapping 04/19/2005 03:28 AM
As predicted just a few days ago, Google has this morning launched UK versions of its local and mapping services. Yes, you can now find Pizzas in Plymouth with the aid of everybody's favourite search engine.

The services appear broadly similar to their US counterparts, and are apparently accompanied at the launch by a UK version of Google SMS. Its subdomain isn't yet active, but a direct link (below) works.

There are a few problems with the mapping data though. Some streets appear fine; however, it appears other areas, particularly where streets have been redrawn, renamed and so on, throw up some pretty strange results. Also, there isn't yet a satellite picture service for the UK.

Posting on the Google Blog, Richard Boardman, Usability Analyst, said: "I guess my colleagues got tired of my moaning, so I'm delighted to introduce Google Local UK and Google Maps UK. The Google UK office and a few of us homesick Brits in California have been helping out with the development."

Odd keyboard mapping decisions

Odd keyboard mapping decisions 03/23/2005 01:05 PM
I've recently upgraded from Office v.X to Office 2004 (yes, I do use Microsoft products -- ones I've even used my own money to buy) and for reasons I don't quite understand they decided to do... odd things with some of the keyboard mappings. Most folks who use OS X are familiar with using command-tab and command-shift-tab to cycle through the different running applications on your system. It even gets a spiffy GUI boost, along with some clever tricks you can play. (Like being able to send command-key sequences to apps, which is something of a mixed feature) You...

Mapping Software and City Government

Mapping Software and City Government 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

Mapping Software Jolts City Governments: Neat article on the use of mapping software and GIS in city governments.

Specialized mapping software helped New York plot the addresses of people who had called to complain about having lost their heat during a recent cold snap. That helped determine precisely where the city should set up "heating centers" for New Yorkers to huddle in.

I visited the GIS department of little 'ol Sioux Falls, South Dakota last week, and I was very impressed at what even our little town (120,000 people) has for mapping.

I sat in the zoning department and brought up a aerial image of the city, zoomed in on a half-mile square area, and could turn off on and on layers like the satellite image, zoning, water and sewer lines, building outlines, plat lines, etc. It was eerily like a real-world version of SimCity.

They sold the whole bundle of images and layers for about $6,000 for the entire city. It amounted to hundreds of gigabytes of data, for a just nine-square mile metro area.

Anyone care to review the following snippet, about open source GIS projects, for accuracy, completeness, fairness, etc.? It's part of a much larger piece on the GIS industry. I'm on short deadline here... <Draft> One of the leaders at this point is the University of Minnesota's MapServer. It was initially developed as part of the ForNet forestry management project, funded by the state of Minnesota and NASA. While the MapServer lets an application display a browsable map, the site notes it, "is not a full-featured GIS system, nor does it aspire to be." The US Geological Survey announced last month...

Geometric Mapping and National Landmarks

Geometric Mapping and National Landmarks 09/02/2004 12:20 PM

U.S. disaster plans include cloned icons: An older article, but still an interesting look at the science of geometric mapping and how it's being used to ensure we can rebuild historical structures if they're destroyed.

The bottom line: Should disaster strike, and a political decision be made to rebuild, exact replicas — or architectural clones — could be constructed fairly quickly. How do you replicate the 225-ton, 305-foot Lady Liberty? The 288-foot Capitol dome? The 60-foot busts of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt?

Deploying high-powered, laser-scanning technology to record the landmarks from every angle, the feds have been creating three-dimensional digital models of their complex exterior features. They also have scanned part of the ornate interior of the Capitol.

ADT Security Services new MobileSafety combines GPS, cell phone, and mapping service features into a least-common denominator device that strips most of the functionality of its inspiration in a trade-off for ease-of-use. One push of the single button on the device puts the user in touch with ADT's monitoring center via the speakerphone, where emergency services can be routed to your location or directions can be audibly given. You can even add the ADT Trak option to keep real time tabs on the location of the car via ADT's website or by phone. It's not a bad idea, really. Even though there are dozens of more full-featured devices out there that do similar things, ADT already has the call centers set up to support their home and business security systems, and the $129 price point (plus the $20/month monitoring fees) is a pretty low barrier to entry for those that want a little more safety in their cars. (Thanks, Matthew!)
