HERE has cross-platform APIs to solve real-world location problems: positioning, geocoding, routing, indoor mapping, traffic and more.
The founders, who met at Uber Advanced Technologies Group, have developed a cloud-based fleet-management platform that pulls mapping, traffic and detection data to suggest to all self-driving vehicles operating in a given geography the safest, most efficient routes.
The deal comes on the same day that Microsoft also inked a deal with TomTom, in which TomTom will integrate its "enterprise-grade" location services, based on TomTom's maps, traffic and navigation software, into Microsoft Azure, for developers to use them in applications where locations services are needed.
From budget and fundraising figures, to the census, transit, or public safety stats that coders use to build apps mapping traffic and crime, public data are the building blocks of civic tech: More than transparency for transparency's sake, they allow citizens to build tools that can not only hold government accountable, but make it more efficient.

PlanetInAction have been experimenting with ways to play with Google Earth's amazing 3D model of the globe and have a stunning collection of toys to show for their efforts including ship and helicopter simulators and mapping traffic flow and tides in the oceans.
We used models integrating road maps, traffic volume, and snake movements to examine the potential for roads to contribute to mortality in two species of water snakes that differ in their vagility, use of terrestrial habitats, and conservation status.
