Other “geo” things
- In the era of phones and online navigation maps, the police emergency response to a shooting in rural Nova Scotia (Canada) showed that the police local units did not have a rapid and reliable backup system for road navigation and aerial images.

- contrapunctus asked on OSMIndia: ‘Does anyone know of any opportunities to be a full-time, professional OSM mapper?’. They received a number of accurate answers.
