As noted by @georgecmu, drones for mapping underwater caves have been used for many years--evolving to autonomy from hand-held & scooter-mounted LIDAR mapping arrays. Barbara am Ende wrote a 2001 article in Computer Graphics on such eff

@thebiglebrewski -- do you have a link or reference to the regulations of concern? I did a quick web search and did not find anything relevant.

The new map appears to be emphasizing the road network and user-generated overlays; i.e., pick up, drop off, and (soon) people locations. There is less label contrast, and while that could be proven scientifically, it does not make the map

This pointed me to another story about reconciling the jagged boundary and 160+ Indian/Bangladesh enclaves along that border. The story notes: "The area contained the only third-order enclave in the entire world. It was literally

The http://www.opentripplanner.org project is working on open multimodal routing too, and they have an associated Android app. Starting with OTP and Mapzen, it is good to finally see the first steps toward commercial-grade routi

The map's creators, Viegas and Wattenberg, gave a talk on how they made the visualization at the Eyeo Festival 2012 -- https://vimeo.com/48625144#t=16m55s . They show the experiments that took them from static vector f

You make a great point about engineering. The interaction of algorithms/techniques and the database, as well as computational infrastructure and UI/UX, are all significant areas of differentiation. I still disagree about algorithm

For speedy street routing, the Open Source Routing Machine: http://project-osrm.org/ Like Google's proprietary routing engine, it leverages the scale of local and regional travel (via contraction hierarchies, arterial

Depends on the application. The developers that made Valhalla (Mapzen) recently hired my doctoral program office mate Indy Hurt to answer some aspects of that question. She's on Twitter at @indymapper. Elsewhere in academia, Muki Hakla

The OSRM routing engine appears to focus on contraction hierarchies; is that also the case for Valhalla? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_hierarchies

Build something awesome. Arbitrary rules vanish when people believe they can make more money with you (than from those that followed the rules).

Invite or not-- if you applied with an interesting demo or product, and you're able to share it, please do. Would love to see what's cooking.

Doctor_Fegg makes a good point. The OSM Legal FAQ states: "For a browsable electronic map (e.g. embedded in a web page or mobile phone application), the credit should appear in the corner of the map, as commonly seen with map APIs&#x2F
