Probably 95% of the blogs I follow are about geospatial technology - Flutterby
used to be the exception... And I'm not helping. A word of advice - don't trust a GPS to tell you which house to demolish.

Geez, what happened to cross-referencing via address, photos, or additional methods of verification?

Ouch. Yeah, I'm amazed at how many people don't think about location enough to realize that latitude and longitude aren't really good ways to identify a place. And how many blindly trust that because it managed to given them the same location in one particular place twice that it'll be accurate everywhere, on whatever device a person happens to have.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
