As new technologies and innovations are transgressing the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that will transform mankind, governments, public institutions and businesses are finding it difficult to keep up with the pace of disruptions. How is the geospatial industry faring? 

For centuries now, maps have played a crucial role in shaping the human civilization. Then came satellite imagery. Since the times of the iconic Blue Marble photograph in 1972, satellite imagery has always produced a startling effect in people. But ever since Google Earth opened our eyes to what maps could do, things have never been the same.

And things have never been the same for geospatial industry as well.
The power of the World Wide Web, automated machines and smartphones in every hand have made the world a big sensor network — bringing location to the center of every thing. The map has become a toothbrush now; we use it for all kinds of decision making — from parking to disaster management — without even realizing the complex geospatial layers and technologies underneath it.

Maps are not just driving apps; they are driving economies too. As new technologies and innovations are transgressing the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that will transform mankind, governments, public institutions and businesses are finding...

Google Maps is one of the most powerful and useful apps created in the last one decade. It has changed the world. But even as the Google Maps team loves all the laurels -- and downloads on the app stores -- they get, it is not sitting idle. The journey for the Google Maps is one that is constant. And it is on this constant journey, possibly towards perfection, that Google Maps is now going local.

Of late, the use of Google Maps has exploded in India. The number of people using Maps has doubled in the last one year in India. This growth, and tantalising prospects of solve big problems for billions of people, is what brought Dane Glasgow, a VP product management at Google, to Delhi recently. Dan, who has his office in Google headquarters in the US, looks after the Maps team. In India he came with his key lieutenants, hoping to learn how on the chaotic and busy roads of Delhi people use Maps and what can be done to make it better.

"A lot of our people are in the town, to understand the Google Maps in India and to gain insight for the next generation of services," Dane tells India Today Tech in an exclusive interview.

An in-depth look at the various techniques organizations and governments are using to protect their airspace and assets.

DENVER, Sept. 21, 2017 — (PRNewswire) —  Over two million consumer and commercial drones will be sold around the world this year presenting an enormous opportunity, but also safety, privacy and security challenges for nearly every type of organization — from prisons and airports to sporting events and community festivals. Never before has a threat presented itself so quickly and scaled so rapidly.

Over the past few years, the use of drones has increased at a staggering page. Hobbyists and commercial users alike are inventing new ways to use affordable and powerful drone technology to do everything from filming a breathtaking video to delivering relief after a natural disaster.

With any wave of new technology (e.g. automobiles and aircraft), there will be accidents by well-meaning users and in limited cases people who use the technology harmfully. Professionals whose job it is to ensure the safety of facilities like airports and prisons are wondering how to handle this threat - a difficult proposition as technology and regulations are rapidly changing.

Despite a quickly growing market comprised of more than 40 companies providing counter...
