Let’s Talk About Data
Let’s Talk About Data Major services to worry about: Google MapMaker (and Places, Plus, and Maps) OpenStreetMap HERE Apple Maps Each service has its… quirks.
Let’s Talk About Data Data Overload Major data sources have required a great deal of cleanup. Especially a problem with published full directories. Lots of Inputs Some of them are even good.
