Notas del editor
- The data trend I’m always motivated by is the ability we now have to tailor to some very specific and increasingly individual needs… wait for the new product announcement later…
- Everything designed around the users. Garmin already pointed out the failings of paper as a medium…. Our choice of medium was based upon the short comings of the alternatives… paper and electronic. But the French describe these issues best here!
- Adsorbent if you need that…Intangibility of the stuff on the screen…
- Development of the map, the sourcing of materials, the decisions on data sources etc. was all in place before we incorporated in November last year. In the same week we made our design rights applications and launched our 30 day Kickstarter campaign with a home made video from a night of mountain biking.How many people here are backers of SplashMaps?We were successful in gaining our funding and soon had the money and shortly afterward 4 additional shareholders.We planned our launch for the Outdoors show early in January 2013 and started our media campaign immediately.A year of learning had begun.
- We learnt about printingAbout impractical licensing (and influencing it!)About our naivity in data integration and cartography *viz Yosemite map.
- It’s a visual product, and it’s a product no one even contemplated before. So it needs endorsements and it needs visuals. Preferably it needs hands-on! Or perhaps I need to weave a fabric with words?
