Navigating Washington
January 14, 2009 12 Comments
Just the other day we were wondering over the RSP Architects coffee machine about if GeoCommons would ever have an API. Rather than actually ask Sean if there was one in the works, it is of course easier to forget about the conversion and wait for Sean to blog about it himself. What I assume is one of the first GeoCommons API (this example is running on Amazon’s EC2) applications out there, Navigating Washington which allows real time poll mapping in your browser or even a Blackberry or iPhone (no Windows Mobile device because no one uses those anymore). I find the application very interesting and integration with mobile devices is a smart idea. I’m anxious to see what Sean has planned with the API and how we can use it.
What can't maps do for you these days?

Well what is a blackjack?
No one at my company uses WM, no one in my family uses WM, not one of my friends uses WM, not one of my DoD clients uses WM, not one of my higher ed clients uses WM.
Half the treos are WM. An awful lot of local government entities here use WM exclusively for smart phones (since they can’t use blackberries).
Surely you’ve seen one of these?

Okay, at least one person uses Windows Mobile.
