The REST is Up to You: A Deeper GeoStack for Better Apps
Jaron Waldman (Placebase)
The free mapping platforms have evolved in relation to a simple set of consumer requirements like getting driving directions, finding coffee shops, and viewing aerials. As developers have hit the limits of capabilities on offer, fewer truly useful new mashups are emerging. The new Pushpin REST API opens the door to more geospatial web applications by providing on-tap, accessible local data.
