I find it hard to sympathize with the guy, he's complaining that Google make him use a self-service tool to upload his data. And that because he's helping Google they should help him more, open up their data, etc.
But in actuallity he's the one who wants to put the data into Google so his university will get more value from Google maps, it's not Google who's asking for his data.
- 7952 15y agoThats not really how people think about maps. A map is a bit like a dictionary or encyclopedia. It is supposed to be correct and complete. Where Mapping plays to google strenths (captial expenditure and algorithms) they do well. But thats not enough to make a great map. The current strategy is not yielding great maps and that is bad for users and google.
