Cleveland's GIS was expected in 2009 but finally went online in June 2011. There are seven different ArcGIS Server-based Flash/Flex apps on the Bing basemap. The local paper notes some limitations related to overlaying maps and up-to-date data on crime. The project came in, despite its delay, under the $31 million budget. Coming soon: the end of a $199/month contract for crime data.

The names of NC 24 towns were printed in white instead of black in 10 percent of all 2011 DOT maps due to a "computer glitch."
New software is to blame, but it's not clear why just the town on that stretch of road were basically invisible. The tiny town of Zebulon (pop 4000) had a very vocal citizenry (officials were not aware of the problem) who let the state DOT know of the issue.

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources offers aerial images collected between December 2009 and April 2010 to the public for use in assessing flood damage resulting from Tropical Storm Lee. The data is for Bradford, Centre, Clinton, Lycoming, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wyoming counties. i-cubed agreed to waive a restriction that would have limited the data to governmental-use only until next June. The data are available at this website (choose PAMAP 2010 Imagery Service Now Available).

Huntsville’s AEgis Technologies is working with DigitalGlobe to try to find wreckage of a plane thought to be lost in Venezuela in February. An unfortunate miscommunication turned GeoEye into “Goi” in the coverage in the Huntsville Times.
[Bob] Edwards [who has been coordinating the search] said that in addition to Aegis, DigitalGlobe and Goi, another satellite imagery company, there are 50 volunteers nationwide who are analyzing the satellite images on their computers.

Update: Already corrected!
—- original post——
C|net offers some samples. Oops - the article calls DigitalGlobe “DigiGlobe.” (I’ve already notified my contacts at the company.)

The Huntsville Forester (Ontario, Canada) reports that District of Muskoka has renegotiated its contract with First Base Solutions to re-fly the area. The original contract was for $183,000 and is now at $21,000. Why? The original flights, completed last year, were too late in the season and foliage was already “on.” I’m guessing the company won’t make that mistake again!
