  • Interesting interview as far as I got but the poor audio quality for the interviewee made it too uncomfortable to listen right through.

  • Yes!! The Geomob podcast is long overdue

    I’ve been to a number of Geomob events and love attending them to get an inside scoop on what is happening in the world of Geo/Location and general mapping fun.

    I’m really pleased that we now have the podcast edition to look forward to (especially helpful in times of lockdown!).

    Ed is a great host and there’s some very knowledgeable speakers on the show. I’d recommend listening to the John Craig interview on location based advertising.

  • What's not to like if you are a geek and into Geo?

    Disclaimer: I'm one of the co-hosts of the podcast.

    Ed and I are old friends who've worked in Geo for a long time. Ed runs the Geomob series of events in London, Munich, Barcelona and Lisbon. I've mentored and invested in Geo start-ups for over decade

    In this podcast we chat about trends and current topics in Geo, we share our experiences in our current projects and businesses and we invite friends and past speakers from Geomob to join us

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dennis Luxen: OSRM
Q: How do data quality and growth affect OSRM's approach?
OSRM prefers fixing data upstream and being prudent about fixes in code, since data fixes can have long-term maintainability implications; data growth requires ongoing engineering to digest more data efficiently.
Dennis Luxen: OSRM
Q: Is OSRM open source and is there a hosted option?
Yes, OSRM is open source and can be run locally; there is also a hosted public service run by the OpenStreetMap community and commercial providers offer access to their backends.
Dennis Luxen: OSRM
Q: What is OSRM's unique position in the routing landscape today?
OSRM emphasizes speed at scale while preserving route quality, using pre-processing and a way to interpret data that relies on OpenStreetMap standards and community input, with a focus on self-hosting and transparency rather than hidden data advantages.
Timbo Drayson: OkHi
Q: Briefly introduce yourself and what OkHi is accomplishing.
Timbo Drayson explains that OkHi is a global addressing network focused on mapping people, not places, to create digital addresses and proofs of address. Their SDK-based solution sits inside customers' apps (like mobile banking) to verify address and reduce fraud, with a mission to put a billion people on the map.
Lukas Martinelli: Reprompt
Q: What exactly is Reprompt?
Reprompt builds deep research for physical places by indexing and cross-referencing information from multiple websites to determine accurate POIs and addresses, then feeds this curated data to major mapping and ride-hailing platforms to improve their data quality and coverage.
