Re-Use of Google Maps (and others) Data

September 28th, 2007 · No Comments

I just saw a screencap of an online mapping application and I started thinking…

Online map providers know starting addresses, destination addresses, and the route that the driver subsequently printed out.  There's some good marketing data in there, especially if one wanted to make a heat map for advertising locations and such.

Maybe that's why Google is involved in automobile mapping solutions…
