"SatNav Made Me Do It" Doesn't Fly in UK Court

A judge in the United Kingdom would not let off a man who drove off a road and into a fence after he used a defense of "I was following the satnav." He was fined for "driving without due care and attention." While this does not set worldwide precedent, perhaps it should?


Witness Geospatial trends shaping today's IT industry: mobile platforms, crowd sourcing, clouds, standards, open source and Spatial Data Infrastructures, at a significant international conference.


Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's driving how businesses large and small are altering their choices related to energy, transportation, food and waste to reduce environmental impacts and increase profits. What is geospatial technology's role? Join Matt Ball, editor and founder of Vector1 Media for an insightful panel discussion at LI 2009.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH

Michael Albert, a New York collage artist and juice entrepreneur, made this unique map of Manhattan. It's a "ransom note" style map using cut-out letters and words, spelling out locations in the Big Apple. He made news week before last when he gave away hundreds of copies of the map at a corner in downtown Brooklyn. You can buy a copy of the print (scroll almost to the bottom of the page).
