The State Of The Mapping API
This week the GeoBusiness conference took place in London and as far as geo-themed conferences go it was a broad themed and mixed bag of an event. GIS was heavily represented as was the BIM element of this geo-discipline. The collection of raw data was a prevailing theme on the exhibition booths with drones aplenty and LIDAR cars out in the car park of the Business Design Centre. Thankfully the data and web driven part of the industry was also represented and I played my part by giving a talk.
I decided to talk about the current state of the wide range of web maps APIs we have in our toolkit and with tongue placed slightly in cheek I called the talk The State Of The Mapping API. A personal homage to OSM's State Of The Map conference if you will.
