Google Maps and API Now on Same Data: Tele Atlas

I saw this via James who saw it via Mike Blumental. The original post is here. I tracked this to source to point out how tough it is to know all the places where Google makes announcements related to mapping.

As James and Mike and others point out, this appears to be an upshot of the NAVTEQ/Nokia deal. I suspect we'll see more "lining up" as Nokia moves further into geo-related pursuits. Tele Atlas owner TomTom is already pretty far into geo.

It's the Economy...& Jobs, Stupid

Is your head reeling from the economic and financial crisis? Mine is for sure. The turmoil certainly comes at a coincidental time to our hosting of our first Jobs and Education webinar tomorrow. We understand that our industry is relatively stable and growing because of the ability to create efficiencies and offer unique perspectives and provide analysis that enhances revenue opportunities. However, there is still a need to educate the workforce on what types of employees companies are seeking and what educational institutions are offering with respect to training and degree programs. We are fortunate to be able to have panelists with extensive experience in job training and education including:


Dean Howell, GISjobs Australia - International Job Opportunities

Rich Serby, GeoSearch - U.S. Job Opportunities

Dr. David DiBiase, Penn State Univ. - Online Training for GIS certificates and degrees

Dr. Fred Limp, Univ. Arkansas - on interdisciplinary geomatics degree programs

Michael Johnson, ESRI - jobs in software development, training, marketing, and more
