The Guardian reports:
The government is to explore ways of making all Ordnance Survey maps freely available online from April…..Gordon Brown announced the change at a joint event in London today…In the new year Brown intends to publish 2,000 sets of data…
Is this too good to be true??? We will have to wait until April to [...]
Here are the slides I presented. They are all pictures, so you need to use your imagination!
Where2now – AGI North
This is a record for me, here is a copy of my presentation before I have given it…
I am using prezi.com for the 1st time, so it is a bit of an adventure… One issue I have found is you cannot change the tittle (hence “Cloud 1 Text” arghhhh).
I am about to hop on the slow train to Stratford-upon-Avon for the AGI Geocommunity event.
Thanks to John Fagan and Steven Feldman, this year there will be a live event blog on www.geocommunitylive.com which will be aggregating RSS feeds from other bloggers at the event. It should be fun!
Now I need to finish my presentations…
The AGI Northern Group are organising a great event for November 10th in Harrogate called Where2.0 Now.

Soul Solutions have a great blog post on using Azure to store custom image tiles (i.e. with your own data) for overlay on Bing Maps.
A little bit of GIS in the cloud… Neat…
I am at the Bregenz for the ESRI 2009 German speaking conference to speak about using Virtual Earth and ESRI together…
My slides are here and:
The event is at at the Festspielhaus beside Lake Constance (as featured in the latest James Bond film), which is a cool venue:
At the moment they are setting up a strange broken [...]
It is not long until the next UK AGI conference. In fact the call for papers is closing today (although I imagine it is still possible to submit slightly late…). It would be great to see some more presentations from the world of web-mapping and light-weight GIS.
There has been a bit of re-branding, so it [...]
A lot of people have been asking me if it was possible to use VE imagery and maps directly in ArcGIS Server (as you already can in ArcMap). Well the good news is now you can! This approach incorporates the VE tiles directly (rather than using the ArcGIS JavaScript™ Extension for Microsoft Virtual Earth™)
