"Ubiquitous GeoContext"
summary
Argues for open vector maps and shows what a location‑dense future actually does: devices and cars trade GPS, wiper and temperature data to enable personal Green Wave traffic negotiation, paid priority at lights, and peer ride markets; imagines gamified retail with mobile burger treasure hunt and even penguins tracked by GPS inside zoos. Demonstrates OpenStreetMap as a volunteer global vector dataset, cites transit isochrones like a 20‑minute BBC map, warns commercial vector access can cost $10,000 upfront and urges truly open licenses.
