Mobile, utility and server-side development will define the future of
maps.

Maps took over the web in mid-2005, shortly after the first Where 2.0
conference <http://conferences.oreillynet.com/where2005/> . They quickly
moved from fancy feature to necessary element of any site that contained
even a trace of geographic content. Today we're amidst another location
and mapping revolution, with mobile making its impact on the web. And
with it, we're seeing even more geo services provided by both the old
guard and innovative new mapping platforms.

Though the map itself continues to be important, other geographic data
is having a larger impact. Providers are making this data, such as
driving directions and business listings, available in increasingly open
ways.
