The New Meaning of Mapping
summary
Maps become interactive place browsers: Google Translate converts the Rosetta-like text into 52 languages in under a minute, Google Earth has Google Earth: 600 million installs, Street View extends via vans and trikes into zoos and pedestrian sites, and 500 billion online photos augment the planet. Mapping is an application platform with 350,000 active API sites and 500 million user edits last year, supports commerce across 177,000 big-company and 25 million small-business locations, and ties to booking and purchase flows.
