  OpenGeoData — Authority: 463
  Google just nuked from orbit the entire PND industry: Which leaves everyone from PND manufacturers to waze to carriers wondering what’s next. There’s been lots of commentary already that I won’t repeat. You’ve gotta give it to these guys for technical ability in any case.

  Graphics Optimization Blog — Authority: 118
  One of the sites that inspired me to really jump into the deep end and take this long, strange and rewarding journey related to image optimization was Google Maps .
