Advanced Map Techniques (en)
summary
Focuses on putting data on maps not routing and shows concrete tools and outcomes: Paris open data includes 145,000 addresses and most sets see ~200 downloads except green spaces at 3,500, GTFS transit feeds arrive (Paris GTFS published Oct 30), OpenStreetMap supplies building outlines and WebGL 3D, and an Airbnb library air-map-view abstracts map providers so apps run without Play Services but currently lacks heat maps. Demonstrations include clustering via Google/Android Map Utils, tile-overlay heat maps, an isochrone site and a contest heatmap web app that work in practice.
