New Orleans Population Resettlement
U.S. News and World Report for June 23 provided a detailed map of the resettlement progress in New Orleans in an article entitled, "The Road Back Home." The map is an "activity" index of areas rebounding from the pre-Hurricane Katrina levels based on utilities, mail service and building permits. The map was created by GCR & Associates and their more detailed analysis of the resettlement can be downloaded from their website (PowerPoint presentation). Neither source stipulates the geographic subdivision but it appears to be at the street block level.

River Levels, Flood Stage & Flood Forecasts
Weather Underground sent us a link to the WunderMap mashup showing river levels, flood stages and forecasted flood zones. It's a nice app that shows flow rates, flood stage level (%), and a link to the information source.

Podcast: Wither Paper Maps in a World of Satellite Navigation?

At the same time police and response organizations are warning the public and their staffs to keep a paper map on hand. What is happening to paper maps as GPS devices become part of our daily lives? Editors Adena Schutzberg and Joe Francica share their thoughts.

WeatherCall: Local News Station Uses NWS Data for Severe Weather Notificaiton Service
WeatherCall is a subscription-based service from KIMT (Iowa/Minnesota TV station) based on the U.S. National Weather Service data. It costs $6 dollars per year. Subscribers provide a physical location (address) and receive notification (e-mail, text, phone call) whenever severe weather including tornado warnings are delivered. Subscribers can optionally choose to receive severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings.
The service is enabled by changes in how NWS know tracks storms. It's now done via polygon - meaning those outside the area need not be warned. Messages come from the station's Chief Meteorologist Adam Frederick 24 hours a day. It's not a location-based service in the sense it does not know where you are, save via that single input address. When you travel you can change your location manually within the system.
The company behind the offering (which apparently is apparently available from many TV/radio stations) is Media Weather Innovations.

AdNav - Ad Supported Navigation
The name says it all. AdNav refers to itself as a GPS Solutions Marketing Company. The idea is to subsidize satnav distribution by hotels, car rental agencies, airlines and make money by offering ads on the devices to local businesses. The platform is called Boomerang and it allows the partner to customize the data offered. Among the offerings are weather, directions, Internet access, city guides. Among the partners are Tele Atlas, CustomWeather, Ask and others. I didn't see any listing of who's advertising yet.
While very clever, my sense is that regular business travelers will be in the habit (soon) of using their phones for such things. Vacationers are a more likely target, but they'll have to learn of the offering before they pick up the NeverLost enabled car at Hertz.

Podcast: Holidays Kick LBS in Right Direction...More to Come in '08
GPS devices were one of the big tech sellers this holiday season. More than likely you or a family member or friend gave or received one that's now settled into a single car, or caught in play between two or more vehicles. What might the large number of sales of these devices mean for the growth of location-based services in 2008? Editors Joe Francica and Adena Schutzberg look into the crystal ball.
