Coverage of MAPPS Visit to the Hill: Maps and Cartoons

The Hill blog covers MAPPS’ visit to the capitol last week. Besides making fun of its name, here’s the money quote:

Steve Phipps, director of federal programs for Woolpert, a geospatial company in Ohio, told me that there’s a misconception that Google Maps is sufficient for engineering uses.

“Google maps is really inaccurate,” he said. “You can’t do engineering with that. It’s a cartoon.”
