Maps are pervasive. GPS-enabled smart mobile devices drive location-based content.

International digital maps are a rare commodity. Yes, there would be a lot more to look at and talk about… OpenStreetMap Ownership Open source Google (corporate) Nokia (corporate) TomTom (corporate) Professional mapping and Mapping approach Crowdsourcing Professional mapping Professional mapping data licensing Worldwide, Worldwide, Core countries, Core countries, Coverage area coverages vary, good coverage (licenses), very good coverage there, very good coverage there, strong beyond street networks mediocre beyond street networks weak beyond street networks weak beyond street networks Growth Very strong Strong, but costly Weak Weak Already suitable for most LBS, Suitable for most LBS, Suitable for street-based LBS, Suitable for street-based LBS, Product perspective Including basic navigation; Including navigation; especially navigation; especially navigation; not Automotive grade not Automotive grade (yet) Automotive standard Automotive standard Ease of map access for Very hard Very easy Easy Easy software companies OpenStreetMap‘s two main advantages are the „acquisition-proof“ ownership structure and its crowd-sourced mapping approach, which leads to unrivalled growth and quality sustainability - especially consdering the (lack of) required funds. Navteq and Tele Atlas customers already experience a decline in quality. Google is a strategic threat to many companies, which do not want to become dependent of Google. These enormous strategic advantages of OpenStreetMap are already being realized by an increasing number of top tier companies. In essence, the OpenStreetMap is the most future-proof map source of all. 7
Key takeaways: Food for thought. Why maps are so essential and why the space will be shook up shortly. Each LBS needs a map. Good map sources with international coverage are rare. Hyperlocal content on and off street networks (e.g. indoors) will increasingly determine attractiveness of a ma There‘s no better way than crowdsourcing for this. Actually, there‘s no other way. Increasing competition levels in the LBS space will increase services‘ differentiation requirements. With maps‘ vital importance, strategic independence will play a bigger role for service providers. Key content provides (e.g. car manufacturers) will want to have at least partly-exclusive access to their asset The OpenStreetMap will DISRUPT the map space in all areas. It already does. Incumbent automotive map providers will be rendered obsolete with a few years and Google Maps won‘t be a “monopoly“ on the web anymore. 8
