Map Economics: Useful Content and One Major Omission
February 13, 2020
DarkCyber spotted a paper called “The Economics of Maps.” The authors have presented some extremely useful and interesting information about depicting the real world.
One of the most useful aspects of the article is the list of companies providing different types of mapping services and data. The list of firms in this business includes such providers, vendors, and technology companies as:
Airbus
Farmers Edge
Mapbox
Pitney Bowes
There are some significant omissions; for example, the category for geo-analytics for law enforcement and intelligence applications; for example, the low profile Geogence and investigative tools like those available from Verint.
Worth reading and tucking into one’s intelligence folder in our opinion.
