I'm forwarding an interesting article about the future of mapping. A quote:

"Ed Parsons, geospatial technologist at Google, estimates that
approximately 30 per cent of all Google searches are "geographical". Its
search engine works in tandem with its geospatial application to order
global knowledge in a completely new way. Rather than classifying things
according to numerical or alphabetical order, Google uses a geographical
order. When we ask Google for information, it is increasingly delivered
to us based on how near it is to us. "
