We had a great example of this in a recent Geomob London talk: ask Google Maps to route from Wairiki, Fiji (-16.8048, 179.9893) to Welagi, Fiji (-16.7349, -179.9439), two villages on the coastal road of the same island and about 10km apart,

Oh of course. No doubt the techniques have advanced, but all that was possible even 20 years ago. The question is what do you do when you don't get the answer you want? - when it shows that you are losing audience, though perhaps slowl

It's very easy to measure revenue and how you are doing against the monthly or quarterly goal. It's very hard to measure whether you put so many ads on the page that people get fed up and don't come back. So the end result is

Null Island is great of course, but when it comes to non-existent "places" in the ocean I prefer Point Nemo https://en.osm.town/@opencage/110207798392328927

This evaluation is hardly unbiased, it's promoting the conclusion that Google's Open Location Code is the way to go (as you might have guessed from the fact that it is in the google/open-location-code repo). Some of the point

ChatGPT very convincingly recommends us for a service we don't provide. Dozens of people are signing up to our site every day, then getting frustrated when "it doesn't work". Please do NOT trust the nonsense ChatGPT spit

Here's a cool service (unfortunately I haven't yet been able to use it) to do a "European safari" and go see some of these wild animals. Good fun, but also important to provide an economic benefit to the local community

yes. It is just a little tool for people who work in geospatial, where every other tool needs those two numbers in a slightly different format. Here's some good background on the problem (linked in the FAQ) https://macwright
