Ed and Steven reconvene to discuss recent Geomob events in Berlin and Barcelona, highlighting various talks on AI, geospatial technologies, and community engagement. They also touch on the challenges of event attendance, upcoming events, and the monetization of their podcast. Ed shares a fun new feature from OpenCage: Shipping Forecast sea areas. He also calls for beta testers of a upcoming new service. Meanwhile Steven is about to head off leaf-peeping in New England, helped of course by thematic maps. Finally, the topic turns to Foursquare, who recently announced the closure of their City Guides.
