Hinweis der Redaktion
- But what to talk about? I was being gently encouraged to provide a title and theme for this talk by a certain Mr Andrew Larcombe.
- … so with that in mind, and after using a short geo-timeline in my talk last week at the AGI’s GeoCom and watching Chris Osborne do something similar I decided to try and address both of these questions
- So ifyou read the tech press and blogs you’d think that location is a relatively recent invention, coincident with the rise of the smartphone, it’s certainly a hot topic but …
- … let’s see. Jump intoyour personal location time machine and see how far back location really goes
- And join me in a (mostly) complete and (mostly) accurate history of location (abridged)
- Well not quite, but the greekmathemetician used long/lat to uniquely identify a location on the Earth’s surface
- Earliest noted use on China's Great Wall to alert of enemy attacks. Message could be transmitted as far away as 300 miles in a few hours.
- Persian Scholar Al Biruni proposed earth rotated on its axis
- First astrolabe invented by Ramon Llull, a Majorcan Astronomer, to determine latitude
- If the Mappa Mundi looks a bit odd it’s because early maps used the convention of north at the bottom and south at the top. It’s a little bit more recognisable if you flip it 180 degrees
- Maps are easyWe’ve been making them for 1000’s of yearsLots of established standards and principles
- Octant (and later sextant) jointly invented by John Hadley (UK) and Thomas Godfrey (US) … enables the latitude to be calculated accurately … but not the longitude, that needed a standard time reference
- … that had to wait ‘till 1760 when John Harrison invented the marine chronometer, allowing both longitude and latitude to be correctly calculated
- .. Co-founded by Dennis Crowley … of whom we’ll hear more about in a while …
- 5 months later the Google Maps API launches
- One of the first mass market GSM phones with GPS capability
- So what does this all mean?
- There’s a lot of hyperbole around place, POIs and check-ins
- Places are geo-tagged POIs with rich, high quality content and up-to-date information. But there is a rush to “own” places on at the moment and it’s accelerating
- But who wins? … the early adoptors and early entrants into this space aren’t always the most successful …
