1.1 Why?

• Tremendous improvements and new technologies to display spatial informations (vector tiles)

• Increase of spatial data (new iphone has LIDAR for point data cloud)

BUT!

Personnal view: “Looking at the map” is still our main way of doing spatial data analysis

It is good but not enough!
