Fast Company: How MapQuest Gets You From Here to There
Fast Company: How MapQuest Gets You From Here to ThereInteresting story on how Navigation Technologies -- the guys who supply data to MapQuest and the like -- gather their data. Apart from relying on high-quality satellite images, they also rely on about 400 geographers who roam the roads to pick up cues and attributes such as speed limit, turn restrictions, exit numbers, paved or unpaved--along with gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. This can be a good KM story too. Instead of just relying on technology, we need people on the field picking up cues and attributes of daily work that will be most useful to others in the organization.
