Intermap Brings Terrain Data to the Masses on the iPhone
Monday, Intermap will announce its AccuTerra applications for the iPhone. The company is well known in the geospatial industry as the source of NextMap Britain and NextMap USA, two nationwide detailed topographic datasets collected using synthetic aperture radar (corrected per comment - originally said LiDAR). Aerial imagery is collected at the same time. Most of that data has been sold (on spec or later) to national mapping agencies and defense interests, though some has made it into car navigation use and higher-end ruggedized GPS units for backcountry enthusiasts.

Research In Motion acquires Dash Navigation
I first saw the report of the acquisition on GPS Business News (subscription required, but I want to give them credit!); now it's well confirmed. No terms of the deal were shared.
TechCrunch reports "RIM refused to comment on how Dash will be incorporated into its business but it’s safe to assume that the company will use Dash’s technology to upgrade the GPS in their devices in some capacity." The article goes on to report that RIM might be able to do good things with the platform, considering how many people currently carry Blackberries.
Twice notes some other entries into the "traffic probe" space: Waze and Aha Mobile.
Many, including this InformationWeek blog are suggesting the acquisition is like that of NAVTEQ by Nokia. While I agree it'll help in the nav space, it's really not the same sort of acquisition at all in my book.

Nominations for the Most Influential People in Geospatial: 2010 and Beyond
Directions Media is looking for the individuals who will influence geospatial technology for the next five years. Many, many people have helped get us to we where we are today; their names fill the textbooks and magazines of the last 35 years. Who will fill those shoes in the coming years?
We'd like your help in identifying these individuals. They may be from the public, private or educational arena, from geospatial industry or not, programming or politics. To start, we are asking for nominations from the geospatial community. It'll take just a few moments to share a person's name, title and a few sentences explaining why they should make the list. We'll review the nominations and cull down the list. Then we'll ask the community to vote to tease out the top ten later this summer.
