For a long time geospatial technology was a backroom thing, and still is in many places - a lot of FUD about needing special training etc
Big step in making people more aware of online maps / geospatial data
Great performance and usability - slippy maps and AJAX
Biggest single factor was the API, spawned the real growth in “neogeography”

Why was Google Maps so successful?

Really major effort to create and maintain their own data (pre-GPS)
In some cases may have been able to use government map data, in others not (typically not in the US)
I’m joking of course, but the point is that we can’t imagine a politician advocating raising taxes or cutting funding on schools to do better mapping
Utilities, telcos, local governments all do their own base mapping - huge duplication of effort. Made worse because of major inconsistencies in data between agencies
Navteq now owned by Nokia, and Tele Atlas owned by TomTom
Does this risk more restriction on availability of data? Potential conflict
Mainly focused on automative navigation, street maps as a byproduct

Expensive iPhone app is normally $9.95
Microsoft tile based - $8000 per x tiles
Has been an aggressive battle to try to gain market share. Interesting parallel with early days of GIS - business model was not clear, required an act of faith to make big investment in data
Microsoft had said they were investing hundreds of millions - but recently made significant layoffs in Virtual Earth team, several senior people moved on
Yahoo recently released their GeoPlant data as a free download - widely welcomed, but also makes you wonder if they have give up on trying to make money (and lots of upheaval at Yahoo in general)
So has Google almost “won the war” ... and if so will they be more aggressive about trying to make some money?
