Its been more than six months since the last update - I'm wondering what developments there have been in Web 2.0 mapping.
There are a lot of questions to ask: Are the geospatial applications previously identified still active? Have there been changes in functionality? What new applications can be identified? What evidence is there of how these applications are being used? Who is using the geospatial web? Are some types of applications more useful than others, and for what purposes?
A brief search of recent literature reveals a surge of scholarly articles on the geospatial web, some of which I have included in the updated Reading List page above.
Once again, students in my cartography course will explore online
mapping applications and report their findings on this blog later in the
fall term.To help get these investigations going again here are a few new map apps on the scene:
