Kudos: Valerie Hastings, Village of Plainfield, IL

I'm reading between the lines here, but it's my hunch Ms. Hastings, GIS Manager in Plainfield is behind something important: the village submitted address information to both Tele Atlas and NAVTEQ after calls from residents concerned their addresses were not found in online maps and sat nav devices. Not only that, but the article in the local paper lists all the places those who are still unhappy can go to provide corrections.

I've read too many articles that "complain" about errors and don't follow through with any sort of action or suggestions for residents to take action. So, kudos to Ms. Hastings.

I'm so naive.

Observations on Major IT & Geospatial Players from ESRI UC

It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), that the ESRI UC gathers just about everyone in the GIS ecosystem but certain observations can be gleaned from talking to some of the major players. I offer these comments:
