Notas del editor

  1. But what to talk about? I was being gently encouraged to provide a title and theme for this talk by a certain Mr Andrew Larcombe.
  2. … so with that in mind, and after using a short geo-timeline in my talk last week at the AGI’s GeoCom and watching Chris Osborne do something similar I decided to try and address both of these questions
  3. So ifyou read the tech press and blogs you’d think that location is a relatively recent invention, coincident with the rise of the smartphone, it’s certainly a hot topic but …
  4. … let’s see. Jump intoyour personal location time machine and see how far back location really goes
  5. And join me in a (mostly) complete and (mostly) accurate history of location (abridged)
  6. Well not quite, but the greekmathemetician used long/lat to uniquely identify a location on the Earth’s surface
  7. Earliest noted use on China's Great Wall to alert of enemy attacks. Message could be transmitted as far away as 300 miles in a few hours.
  8. Persian Scholar Al Biruni proposed earth rotated on its axis
  9. First astrolabe invented by Ramon Llull, a Majorcan Astronomer, to determine latitude
  10. If the Mappa Mundi looks a bit odd it’s because early maps used the convention of north at the bottom and south at the top. It’s a little bit more recognisable if you flip it 180 degrees
  11. Maps are easyWe’ve been making them for 1000’s of yearsLots of established standards and principles
  12. Octant (and later sextant) jointly invented by John Hadley (UK) and Thomas Godfrey (US) … enables the latitude to be calculated accurately … but not the longitude, that needed a standard time reference
  13. … that had to wait ‘till 1760 when John Harrison invented the marine chronometer, allowing both longitude and latitude to be correctly calculated
  14. .. Co-founded by Dennis Crowley … of whom we’ll hear more about in a while …
  15. 5 months later the Google Maps API launches
  16. One of the first mass market GSM phones with GPS capability
  17. So what does this all mean?
  18. There’s a lot of hyperbole around place, POIs and check-ins
  19. Places are geo-tagged POIs with rich, high quality content and up-to-date information. But there is a rush to “own” places on at the moment and it’s accelerating
  20. But who wins? … the early adoptors and early entrants into this space aren’t always the most successful …
