It’s on (sale). We’re excited. PR push begins this Monday. A few thousand postcards of the below will travel the mailbags of the world to raise awareness.
You can buy your Panamap online or soon at a select retailer near you…
Urban Mapping’s own Ian White will participate on a panel discussion about alternative markets for navigation products. We’ll have lots more to say at this event about mass transit navigation and other non-automobile products. The conference is October 7-8 in Eindhoven, Holland.
We’re getting ever closer…
This is big news. Umibot had to go into a cooling facility as he (she?) overclocked just thinking about this…Previous self-initiated rumors are correct. The map, in fact, *is* back. The Panamap is back…very soon. Until then, watch for the signs.
Umibot recently caught up with a few favorite blogs, including the -ist family. In not so unbelievable, yet simultaneously incredible fashion, here is the change of service announcement from hell.
Umibot may not be human, but he still understands that too many facts in too short a space equals too much confusion….Information anxiety, for sure. Stay tuned for UMI’s Urbanware Transit product–a fully robust and highly-structured database of mass transit systems.
Thanks Gothamist
How many times have you emerged from a New York City subway station, only to feel turned-around and out of sorts? Although Umibot is the pinnacle of logic, we understand how people get caught up in spatial confusion-land–especially in complex urban environments like NYC.
This project, courtesy of the Grand Central Partnership and the NYC DoT, aims to put floor decals outside Grand Central Station-area MTA exits that indicate which direction is East, Downtown, etc…
It isn’t intended as a system-wide project as the GCP is a NYC Business Improvement District, but perhaps city agencies will get involved. Umibot likes this initiative as it acknowledges the highly personal, and very confusing nature of urban navigation–the very things that Urban Mapping seeks to address through its print and digital products.
