Geoinnovation - for fun or profit
Geomob is a series of regular events in European cities for location based service creators and enthusiasts.
We meet every few months, and provide a relaxed forum to learn about and discuss geoinnovation in any and all forms.

Ed and Steven catch up on the heels of two Geomob events. Ed compares the recent London event
with
the Barcelona event
and ponders if London’s culture of sharing will eventually make its way to Barcelona. Focussing on the highlight of the Barcelona event, he describes the presentation by Bettermaps. Although still in the early stages, this app takes a written description of a location and turns it into a map. Ed and Steven discuss the possibilities of AI and the possible elimination of cartographers? We’re not quite there yet, but there certainly is potential in AI. Ed also discusses the recent launch of OpenCage's FlipCoords tool, while Steven shares that he will be presenting about Mappery at the British Cartographic Society annual event in September.
Tune in to find out which other OpenCage projects are picking up momentum, where the next Geomob event will take place, and where you may bump into Ed in the summer months.
