Description
The Google Mapping Revolution That Sparked New Industries and Augmented Our Reality In 2018, Bill Kilday recounts the remarkable story behind one of the most influential technological innovations of our time. From its humble beginnings as Keyhole, a cash-strapped startup mapping company on the brink of collapse, to its transformation into the global phenomenon known as Google Maps, this book takes readers on a journey through the highs and lows of the tech industry. Kilday, who was instrumental in the development of Google Maps, offers a unique insider's perspective on the creation of this groundbreaking application. He reveals how emerging technologies such as virtual reality and driverless cars are set to revolutionize our lives once again, and how the world's view of mapping has changed dramatically as a result. Never Lost Again is a fascinating account of innovation, vision, and implementation that shows us how one idea can have far-reaching consequences.
