Hey! This is wonderful ooo. I can wait to Navigate a local Alagbado area right from Google Maps :lol:

.
Guys is time to start thinking. GPS is becoming an issue now oo. We need to be at the center of some of this technology. Fowe, can u please sent us some information about this. We need to understand how it all started, the present and then we can start thinking about contributing instead of sitting here in Africa and be an end consumer. We can start a class on this in this forum! If we can understand the technology very well then we start contrubuting. Shall we??

@Fowe

Can u tell me in what format G! wants the uploaded map data to be in? I havent read much about Google Earth's Technology but I know it has to do with KML, a special markup language.

...yea its was a verbal yearn with one of the Google guys, so i had to do some search to remember the key word he mentioned as the solution.
And the answer is WikiMapia!
He said we can do some community collaboration in Nigeria to upload our maps

another option is GPS/GIS tiles and the KML stuff u mentioned.
I have posted some more details on the Google I/O conference here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4094

Enjoyyy :arrow:
