Google is taking a wiki-style approach to location editing on maps
november 2007 by jimray
You can correct a misplaced address even if you're not the proprietor of said address. Changes must be approved if they're more than 200 meters away and it shows a history of updates. Smart.

Nokia buys Navteq for $8.1B
october 2007 by jimray
Navteq provides all of the maps for Google, Yahoo and Live. Also, $8.1B for a company with an actual product vs. the insane valuations that have been bandied about for Facebook, which has, at best, a bunch of college kids trying to sleep with each other.

Design is knowing what not to include as much as what to include. In the case of subway maps, is it more important to know how the tracks actually bend - or to know how to get from one place to another.
