There's quite some buzz in Twitterverse and elsewhere around rumors floating around the Location Intelligence Conference, further detailed at APB:
"Tele Atlas confirms that Google has decided to stop using Tele Atlas map data for the U.S. Google will now use its own map data. Our relationship with Google for map coverage continues outside of the U.S. in dozens of geographies."
As if this wasn't enough stirr for a game changer, Atanas Entchev points to Parcels in Google Maps:
In the last hour I received multiple reports from around the Internets (the Twitterverse, to be specific) of parcel data sightings in Google Maps. In limited locales yet. One such area is Santa Barbara, CA.
Feels like a master plan to me.
Marc Prioleau points to an interview by Mike Bobson on Google's shift to their own maps away from Tele Atlas. Read it, rounds up a developing picture.
