  DigitalGlobe Spinoff EarthMap Acquired by Monsanto

  Posted: March 25th, 2008, 1:22pm CET

  Tags:  Remote Sensing  

  I just caught wind of this acquisition which occurred in January but was announced March 14. EarthMap owns the IP from Resource21 and serves the ag market with remote sensing technology. Several ex-DigitalGlobe employees launched EarthMap as a spinoff in 2004. Monsanto's been a customer of the 7 person shop and now owns the people and tech. Recall that another ag-focussed geo-biz, GeoVantage, went to John Deere in recent years.

  Study: Cell Phones can be used to Study Teen's Locations

  Posted: March 25th, 2008, 12:48pm CET

  Tags:  Routing, Tracking, Logistics  

  The study was really about the feasibility of using cell phones to track teen girls to look at the impact of environment on health behaviors. I feel sure the researchers knew that cell phones could do tracking, with known limitations.
  
  The results of a study by researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, show that indeed girls 14- to 16-year-old girls will carry the phones. The pilot also showed one interested and unexpected thing: they were spending more time away from home, school and surrounding areas than anticipated.

  Getting Kids of the Couch with LBS

  Interesting marketing for LocoMatrix: sell phone-based games to Mom and Dad that get junior off the couch and running around. Will it do for outdoor exercise what the Wii did for indoor activity?

  Garmin Rumors

  Posted: March 25th, 2008, 12:05pm CET

  Tags:  Navigation  

  Rumors are floating that Garmin may be entertaining a deal with Nokia for a nav device. The stock folks wonder if this is a sort of back up plan should the Nokia/NAVTEQ deal fail. Chin strokers suggest that if that and the TomTom/Tele Atlas deal fail, Garmin would be in a safe place.
