Geo works well on Kickstarter these days! We ran one for SplashMaps <http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1521486951/splashmaps> in December. Worked for us! Using OSM was compelling for some, and challenging for us. Perhaps you'll get some great coverage for your product too! Check out the BBC coverage of ours at www.splashmaps.net and click the ugly guy with the map round his neck ;-)…. one of our Directors has put some money in already for you… so best of luck Steve. I'm sure you don't need to, but please get in contact if you want. Would be great to pick your brains over OSM too ;-)

Execution is kinda neat I guess but I don't see any remarkable pattern in the result (I.e. it's a cool idea but I don't think you took it far enough). They pretty much look exactly how I would guess. In fact I'm quite certain you could take existing road networks, process the line thickness with population density (interpolated to avoid the census blocks) and get more or less the same result. Possibly more interesting in places where road networks are not dominant and at a larger scale or animated to show how cities "breathe". Or at a very large scale to see how people walk around Central Park or Disneyland, etc. - bri Sent from my iPad On Feb 13, 2013, at 17:19, Steve Coast <[email protected]> wrote: Tell 500 of your best friends... http://kickstarter.com/projects/237731198/gps-art-poster http://stevecoast.com/2013/02/13/my-first-kickstarter-project/ Steve _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org _____ No virus found in this message.
