It is an interesting article on Google Maps philosophy and progress.
It gives me pause to contemplate the relationship between governmental mapping and private industry.
As many may know the first response from many elected officials contemplating imagery or other mapping projects is “ I can get that from Google and it is free”
Have a great week SUMMER is HERE!!
