It's not hard to spot players of the most popular smartphone game of all time. They have a peculiar way of carrying their devices in front of them with one hand, says John Hanke, the technology whiz behind Pokémon GO, as we stroll along the waterfront of San Diego's Seaport Village the day before his appearance in front of 7,000 fans at Comic-Con.

When most people think of GIS, they think of maps, and rightfully so. For decades, typical consumers of spatial data were cities, municipalities, and other organisations that used GIS to manage and visualize information about assets and environments.

The FAA finally has moved on Part 107, the sUAS regulations allowing sub-55 pound UAS to perform commercial work without those pesky Section 333 exemptions. Even though the regulations don't go into effect until the end of next month, if you want to add sUAS capabilities to your firm, now would be a good time to get started.
Before you move into this arena, you probably need to think about the relevancy of this technology for your business and how it could be incorporated into your geospatial workflow.

Chaminda Basnayake, Principal Engineer, V2X Systems, Renesas Electronics: "In the basic V2X concept of operation, everybody will be talking to each other, will be aware of each other. Any car will be broadcasting BSMs, pedestrian or personal devices will be broadcasting an equivalent message, called personal safety messages, and then all the control devices like traffic control will broadcast signal-based timing information, SPAT messages, intersection maps and GPS correction data."
