       | I think we barely scratched the surface when it comes to
       | digitalization and geographic information systems. So much more
       | data will be collected in the future, and whenever you have some
       | GPS coordinates, it will be straightforward to include them in
       | maps. Data will be more then just lists of coordinates. 10 years
       | ago Google streetview showed us what is kind of digital immersion
       | is possible. I think the current situation (with a number of
       | commercial mediocre map providers such as Google, Bing and Apple)
       | makes it possibel (easy?) for a newcomer to really bring another
       | map revolution.
