Blue Dasher gets Tele Atals/NAVTEQ Treatment from the Press

After reading dozens of articles about how Tele Atlas and NAVTEQ drive the streets to collect data, it's nice to see a new company in the data collections spotlight: Blue Dasher. While much is the same - a strange car gets stares as it drives around the neighborhood and it can't take pictures in some locations - much is different. Blue Dasher is capturing high resolution images on all sides and the top of the car allowing for 360 degree visualization. It creates a sort of tunnel through which one can drive, bike or run. The collections are speculative and will hopefully be sold to real estate companies, commercial developers and Web services firms. The big challenge for Blue Dasher perhaps is simply distinguishing its for fee data from the "free" Google StreetView.
