Sadly, it’s only GIS Day in the USA.

Here in dear old Blighty, things are rather different:

Apparently, the UK Ordnance Survey has recently asserted such strict rules for re-using its data that even the London Metropolitan Police may now be in breach of their licence for publishing a crime map online.

And the winners of a UK government-sponsored competition to suggest new web-mapping applications, mostly based on Google Maps, would probably be in breach too.

I understand that no prizes were awarded for joined-up thinking.

The GeoMonkey is fortunate to live in the Land Of The Free Spatial Data – he’d probably starve on this side of the Atlantic…

Run free, GeoMonkey, run free!

Don’t fear the GeoMonkey.

He is only related to the Rally Monkey in last name only.

F the geomonkey.

Next thing you know, you’ll have us swinging geo-thundersticks and rooting for the geo-angels and John “dissolve” Lackey.

We need a new, improved mascot…
