Apple, Placebase, Google, PolicyMap?

PolicyMap News |
| Well, there is quite a buzz in the tech world. Speculation that Apple acquired our contractor Placebase and its underlying mapping technology, Pushpin, is clearly the talk of the day.
A number of the articles, including this one in GigaOm, reference our www.policymap.com site as we are the most substantial application ever built using this unique mapping platform. And, that’s cool. Just so you know, PolicyMap was not acquired by Apple. We are here at The Reinvestment Fund, along with a team of developers based in Los Angeles, working to make accurate, relevant and timely data about places around the country more accessible to our users. We have all the tools we need to keep developing PolicyMap on this sophisticated mapping platform and will continue to bring new data and features to the application on an ongoing basis. You tell us what data you want and what additional mapping capacities you need and we bring them to you. Next week we will be unveiling the PolicyMap “widget” which will allow you to embed a fully interactive widget on your own website. Widgets are customizable instances of PolicyMap maps with dynamic features such as the ability to zoom into or pan across a map, click on an area to view the underlying data or toggle between additional data layers and points of data. Choose from among our thousands of datasets and bring them right to your visitors in sophisticated, interactive maps! Stay tuned! The PolicyMap Team Here are some other articles of the news: |
