  • Resolution as small as 30 feetPosted on: 10-07-09 | By: AnonymousI hear that when they start using triangulation--of WiFi or even cell signals--that they can get it down to 30 feet resolution
  • Users Preparing Map DataPosted on: 10-05-09 | By: AnonymousWill there be a method for users to develop their own map data? I am not sure how that would help with Micello's business model, but there are many public/private organizations we work with that could use this technology for their corpoarte campuses.
  • Can You Find Security?Posted on: 10-03-09 | By: ShoeThis looks appealing in many ways but also raises major security concerns. Can you imagine a terrorist or criminal gang using this as a guide for sinister purposes? At what point do we limit this as another VC backed run for revenue? Plus, this will soon expand to tracking people indoors at malls, campuses, whatever. Think of the Erin Andrews of the world getting stalked by idiots. Also, Big Brother? Either way, we are on thin ice.
  • Combine this with RealPlacesPosted on: 10-01-09 | By: JoeIf Micello did the mapping and added first-person stuff via realplaces.com that would be awesome. Someone hook these guys up!
  • airports & other travel hubsPosted on: 10-01-09 | By: kubituswe envisioned a mobile phone based navigation system allowing airline passengers to find their gate. triangulation of the mobile would give the position, the flight number could connect to the webpage of the airport and retrieve the gate information. no need to have the netbook balanced open to find your way!
  • its not google but if it was id be rightPosted on: 09-30-09 | By: carter colethis wont be useful because its not part of another map service. Google could do it they already have most of the code and do walking directions and could do it for free good idea but implementation will not make it why would i jump to some other site just to get the inside map if i could just zoom into an overlay on Google maps (you can add overlays now you just cant map paths through them)
  • AmazingPosted on: 09-30-09 | By: CaseyLess than three hours ago I found myself wandering the labyrinth that is Dwinelle Hall at UC Berkeley and thinking about what a great idea for Android app this would be. Then I come home and check Slashdot to see that it will soon be a reality. Just amazing.
