I could never be anyone I’ve played. I am so not a detective; I can barely get 200 yards from A to B with the help of Google maps, and I am just about the least observant person on the planet, so I never notice what people look like or how they walk or if they’re committing a crime in broad daylight.
Mapping and visualization is a huge area of work and is of interest to many people. We’re working on reinventing a new kind of 3D cartography to make it easier to tell stories with 3D maps.
There’s just something hypnotic about maps.
For me, my phone is a one-stop shop; I do everything on my phone – email, browsing, listening to music, reading, navigation and using smart apps. Maps, I use that a lot. I think that’s the best app ever.

Great novels are maps of complication, leading nowhere in particular, taking stances only provisionally and obliquely, happy to be tangled and to lack as many answers as the people they seek to depict.
New flood maps in many states have raised the estimation of flood risks along rivers, streams and oceans, adding many properties to flood zones for the first time.

Take Google Maps or Waze. On the one hand, they amplify human ability – you are able to reach your destination faster and more easily. But at the same time, you are shifting the authority to the algorithm and losing your ability to find your own way.
An audit of the courses our people are taking up, particularly younger and middle-aged Singaporeans must be reviewed every so often in consultation with input from the Industry Transformation Maps stakeholders so as to even as the best outcomes possible for our workers in the medium term.
If geography is prose, maps are iconography.
We’re all pilgrims on the same journey – but some pilgrims have better road maps.
Google has placed its faith in data, while Apple worships the power of design. This dichotomy made the two companies complementary. Apple would ship the phones and computers, while Google would provide Maps, Search, YouTube, and other web tools that made the devices more useful.
Each country its cost analysis is going to be different. So what we are you seeing in Syria, for example, is different than what’s going on in Jordan. The maps are being rewritten.
The truth is, I don’t sketch much at all. I have a very visual/spatial brain that retains a lot of information about maps, directions, positioning, and details, so I usually prefer working out those issues on the page itself.
Maps are living, breathing organisms that change on a daily basis: You see it in new roads, bridge closures, and demolitions.
Fifty percent of our country that we own, have all legal jurisdiction, have all rights to do whatever we want, lies beneath the sea and we have better maps of Mars than that 50 percent.
I’ve been touring a lot, and I don’t always know how to get around. Google Maps on the iPhone is pretty helpful with that.
