  Embedded projects from around the web — Authority: 129
  In present days, it’s definitely not a big deal to connect a GPS receiver to a microcontroller.

  Po Ve Sham - Muki Haklay's personal blog — Authority: 405
  One of the interesting questions that emerged from the work on the quality of OpenStreetMap (OSM) in particular, and Volunteered Geographical Information (VGI) in general, is the validity of the ‘ Linus’ Law ’ for this type of information.

  OpenGeoData — Authority: 464
  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.
