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 interviews Peter Karich, co-founder of routing software maker Graphhopper. Graphhopper is a unique success story - they have build a thriving business on top of an open-source software project and OpenStreetMap data. We discuss their story and also the general case of how businesses interact with OpenStreetMap in general.
