- Misha Gopaul: FATMAP
Winter is here, and with it comes ski season. Ed speaks with Misha Gopaul, founder of FATMAP, which describes itself as "the best map for the mountains". Originally started as an app for skiers, FATMAP has since expanded and now also provides 3D maps and guides optimized for all sorts of outdoor adventures. Misha tells the FATMAP story, going deep on the challenges of pairing an amazing visual experience optimized for the outdoors with other services for trip planning. He reflects on lessons learned in using geospatial services to build a thriving community, offers tips for other geospatial start-up founders, and shares what is next for FATMAP. Enjoy the discussion.

29 min - James Morley: A Street Near YouThis week is the 103rd anniversary of the end of hostilities on the Western Front in World War I, traditionally commemorated as the end of the war. As such we thought it was appropriate to invite James Morley on to the podcast to tell the story of his A Street Near You project. James first presented the project to the Geomob community at a London Geomob event back in 2019 where he deservedly won the SplashMaps best speaker prize.Steven and James discuss the project which became a powerful example of the deeply emotional impact of location, but also a great story of how James, without any deep technical skills, created such a popular site. They explore the motivations behind the project, the technical challenges, and the response from the public.Show notes on the Geomob website, where you can also learn more about Geomob events and sign up for our monthly newsletter.33 min
