Quote of the Week
“Google makes maps the same way the supermarket makes eggs.”
Dr. David Coleman of the Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering department at the University of New Brunswick made that comment in a presentation about trends in mapping on the Web. The talk was part of a workshop on SDI in Fredericton, NB hosted by the Land Information Secretariat of Service New Brunswick back on December 9th, 2008.
Reader Bernie Connors, P.Eng, Manager - Spatial Data Infrastructure, Land Information Secretariat Service, New Brunswick, who sent this in followed up: “Several people in the audience made note of the comment. I later asked him about the quote and Dr. Coleman said it was an original.”
