“We’re still a licensing fee based company. ...More and more we’re looking at advertising to make revenue.”
- Clifford Fox, Navteq’s senior VP map division, as told to ZDNet.com.au (did anyone else notice that ZD filed for bankruptcy (G4) this week? Yikes!)

The take away quote: “The future is a 3D world!”
- Business Weekly (UK)
Word from Lat49 (the ads in maps folks) that a partner’s app, RunningMap.com (from GeoSport Mapping Inc) has been updated. I confess, there are now so many services (free and fee) to save your routes, I never visited this one. The updates are user accounts and the ability to save maps as public or private. Also, the site is no longer in beta (I think….) and hopes to make money via the Lat49 ads. One other key point: the site is built on Yahoo! Maps and has been since 2006.
