I keep telling him that women cant read maps but he wont listen. I like the idea of being able to see what others thought of the place - thats cool.

]]> Kommentar zu Excitement and frustration of Google Maps announcements von Rob Coup http://soutschek.com/2008/05/17/excitement-and-frustration-of-google-maps-announcements/#comment-75 Rob Coup Sun, 18 May 2008 21:01:42 +0000 http://soutschek.com/2008/05/17/excitement-and-frustration-of-google-maps-announcements/#comment-75 You're not paying for the Google Maps API or the geodata so it seems you're still well ahead in the long-term equation. Lets say feature X costs $1K to develop. If it was your own mapping API or OpenLayers, it costs $1K as well. So if you need it now, you're gonna have to spend the $1K regardless. Now feature Y which you need in 6 months would also cost $1K. But Google add it before you need it, so you save $1K. Bonus. And you start ahead with the geodata and the initial API development, so there'll have to be a lot of "frustration" to get back square again.

Key part would be finding a website that has the data you need and preferably already asks the lister for each piece of information (so you're not parsing it from text).
