Google Confirms Partnership for Parcel Data

It was rumored for some time that Google was replacing the incumbent street centerline provider and we confirmed via Tele Atlas that Google would use its own street data for Google Maps in the United States. To everyone's surprise, Google has also added parcel data to selected cities.

Google's Mano Marks, geo developer advocate, confirmed that the company partnered with a provider for the parcel data, but he could not share anything more.

We'll keep digging. Anything our readers can share would be appreciated.


The GEOINT 2009 Symposium delivers four days of insightful keynote speakers, important panel discussions and interesting breakouts as well as myriad networking opportunities and exhibits. Building on the dialogue from the past five years, GEOINT 2009 will break new ground as it pulls threads from its theme "Build the Community. Accelerate Innovation. Advance the Tradecraft."
