Watching Google Maps Changes
The Google Lat Long blog noted a new viewer so anyone can watch changes the company’s map database, in something like real time. While it’s fun to watch the little bubbles pop up (you zoom around the map as do; most I saw were about an hour old), I’m thinking of questions I’d like to ask about the edits:
Who’s doing them?
What’s getting moved most - residences? businesses?
Do certain geographies get more edits?
Do edits jump at certain times of day? Times of year?
What’s the relationship of the geography of the editor to the geography being edited?
