Brian already updated it with a “search for parcels within buffer” tool and a measure tool!

Brian Flood noted on Twitter his app that links address data and valuations for parcels in Westfield New Jersey. Check it out.
Among the the winners of the Smaato Mobile Advertising Awards 2009 was Waze; it won in the Overall iPhone category. Aloqa, an LBS app, also was a winner. The awards “recognize excellence in the world of mobile apps and the mobile web. ... Smaato awarded the overall winners free travel and accommodation in Barcelona and booth space at the Mobile World Congress 2010 as well as various opportunities for publicity.”
This is great and I know many folks are big Waze and Aloqa fans (I’ve not used either). My question: Why are these called Mobile Advertising Awards? They are not for mobile advertising, or perhaps they really are? If you look at who SMAATO is, it makes more sense: “Smaato is a pioneering mobile advertising company that operates the mobile ad optimization platform called SOMATM - Smaato Open Mobile Advertising and partners with mobile publishers, mobile developers, mobile ad networks and mobile operators.” You see, without such apps, these folks don’t have a business!
It’s not that Gov. Paterson doesn’t like GPS, he just doesn’t want truckers using products which route the vehicles on inappropriate routes that bring them into restricted areas, for example bringing hazards into residential areas or sending trucks on collision courses with low bridges. Penalties could include jail time or truck confiscation.
New York state cites more than 1,400 bridge strikes in the past 15 years with 46 in suburban Westchester County in 2009.
The bill could be in legislature by January.
