MapInfo Professional 10 - A Sneak Preview of New Features

MapInfo Professional 10 will be launched in June, most likely at the Insights 2009 conference, which starts today in Orlando, FL. Philippe Solomon-Côté got a sneak peak of the product during a presentation by Moshe Binyamin, global product manager for Pitney Bowes Business Insight, at Geodiffusion 2009, which took place earlier in May. Key upgrades include a focus on ease-of-use and improved database support.

Google I/O: Where Google Goes ...

Korem's Jean-Sébastien Turcotte attended last week's Google I/O meeting in San Francisco and offers this report. While not specifically focused on geospatial, two presentations about Google Maps by Pamela Fox and Susannah Raub were definitely informative. He also heard about HTML 5 and Google Wave. "What will be highly interesting for us geo people to watch now are what new gates HTML 5 will open with regard to Google Maps features and applications," he concludes.

Intergraph 2009 offers amazing opportunities to preview new Intergraph technology, participate in targeted break-out sessions and hands-on training, and hear inspiring keynotes from today's forward thinkers.

Nominations for the Most Influential People in Geospatial 2010 and Beyond

Directions Magazine is looking for the individuals who will influence geospatial technology for the next five years. Many, many people have helped get us to where we are today; their names fill the textbooks and magazines of the last 35 years. Who will fill those shoes in the coming years?

We'd like your help in identifying these individuals. They may be from the public, private or educational arena, from the geospatial industry or not, programming or politics. To start, we are asking for nominations from the geospatial community. It'll take just a few moments to share a person's name, title and a few sentences explaining why they should make the list. We'll review the nominations and and cull down the list. Then we'll ask the community to vote to tease out the top ten later this summer.

Nominate someone today!

Take this week's poll!

With 326 respondents so far, the results indicate that we are almost twice as likely to use the term "GIS" than the next closest runners-up ("geospatial" and "map") in describing our work. There is still time to provide your input. Vote today (left side of the home page)!
