First American Spatial Solutions Confirms the Company is NOT the Provider of Google’s Parcel Layer

In a conversation with Scott Little, First American Spatial Solutions (FASS) vice president, he confirmed that the company was not the provider of the parcel layers now seen in Google Maps. He wanted to dispel some of the rumors that have been circulating and feels that Google’s introduction of parcels will raise awareness of the potential applications that can now be developed with having these data available.

When asked if FASS had been in discussions with Google about supplying them with the data, Little said, “We have had general discussions for a pretty good amount of time. With that said, our focus has always been on providing a premium product…keeping it fresh and I think that for those reasons we’ve looked at this through different colored glasses. There is obviously room for multiple people to exist in the market. What Google is doing is very positive."
