Re: Apple Maps Flyover Reverse Engineering
#2I recently asked the founder of a pretty big GIS company how they handle plagiarism. The answer: "we don't bother. [we just monetize services on top of open data.]"
So it looks like the intentional errors method didn't work out in the end. [1]
Wonder if Apple will be as accommodating though :p

#7I don't think this is satellite data, most likely photos captured from planes.
And I'd kinda be curious to what Microsoft has been working on, I remember their birds eye was pretty good a few years ago.
Apple I'd believe the are selectively trying to improve their data in areas that are heavily visited by their users.
Also, I did for the first time see an Apple branded car with a photo sphere on the roof recently and kinda got excited that they are gonna try and bring competition into maps / street view that Google has dominated for the last decade.

Most of the high resolution imagery is from planes.

> I don't think this is satellite data
It's a metaphor. Like 'bird's eye view'.
