Or do you know something we don't about the Royal Map? Interesting typo here -

Your article made me wonder how much longer people in the lesser mapped countries will have to wait for public access mapping. In many non-Western countries mapping data is still treated as a state secret as it provides unrivalled power and control (e.g. over oil reserves). Or will open source map data eventually shift the power to the people everywhere? Thierry ---Submitted at 29°45'47N 19°32'49E via mobile satellite dish, exploring for oil in the Libyan desert. Yes we have internet on the campsite but ironically ran out of water last night. Seems like the web has even overtaken the most basic of primary needs!

A great read and much food for thought. Very illustrative of the dynamic changes outside some of the older 'walled gardens' (I think that's the term in the piece) of the GI business.
