WeoGeo market a new marketplace with very appealing user interface was launched recently.
Initially, you have the ability to search with coordinates or on the map. After you zoom in you can see the available layer that intrsect with the windows you have elected. Then review pricing and choose export options GEOTIFF, NAD27, UTM, KML etc.
Cool idea, without omitting the fact that some layers are for free.
A new cool Wikitude Drive teaser video was released yesterday. Hype has it for AR Navigation. Apparently low data exchange is achieved with server side routing engine between points of interest. Can’t wait to see these features in Lyar. Nest step why not be augmented client mashups and views switching.

I can never tell which city I prefer most between Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Quality of life has shifted in levels, that we, people living in Athens, cannot even comprehend. Consequently, looking back to my everyday living environment makes me mad for satisfying with so little.
