In this episode we revisit the talk that won the SplashMaps best speaker prize at the October 2020 Geomob. Ed interviews long-time geomobster
Laurence Penney, who presented about the world's oldest known geospatial database: Ptolemy's
Geography. A fascinating look back at how it all started.
The Geomob podcast is hosted by
Ed Freyfogle, co-founder of
OpenCage,
and
Steven Feldman,
of
KnowWhere Consulting.
We discuss themes from the geo industry, interview Geomob speakers, and
provide regular updates about our own projects. We publish a new episode every week.
