  • User experience:
    • In opposite to Google-Maps, where you see “all” shops and restaurants instantly, with FoureSquare you must first enter a search item, e.g. “breakfast” and a location. If you move outside the location, a “search” button appears. Sales point which don´t meet the search critera, are not displayed.
    • It is important to invest time to add “Tastes” at Foursquare "Add Tastes", to get proper search results. E.g. “You have 12 tastes. Add tastes to personalize your search results”.
    • With the Fouresquare app, the language of the app is the system language. E.g. if you set the system language to English, you must enter English keywords, e.g. “breakfast” , no way that Fouresquare finds proper results if you try to search by a German keyword ( e.g. “Frühstück” )
    • With the Fouresquare website, the language is always English.

  • Experts told me:
    • This app, though for wanderers & bicycle drivers, is used to plan the routes for busses, serving rail replacement service ( “Schienenersatzverkehr” ). The USP is that planned routes may be exported and transfered to other devices . Each device needs a commercial license, of course. But as the routes are for wanderers and bicycle drivers, sometimes the generated routes can't be driven by busses .

Um die unterschiedliche Überflutungsgefährdung im Stadtgebiet Paderborn anschaulich darzustellen, wurden im Auftrag der Stadt Paderborn Starkregengefahrenkarten durch die Dr. Pecher AG, Erkrath erstellt und in einem „Auskunfts- und Informationssystem Starkregen“ (AIS) visualisiert. Im AIS werden u.a. die Überflutungsausdehnungen und -tiefen sowie Fließgeschwindigkeiten und -richtungen bei unterschiedlichen Starkregenintensitäten dargestellt”.

    • “However, positioning technology marches on. With the dawning of a high accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) in the early 1990s, Loran-C slowly became antiquated and finally the USCG took Loran-C transmitting stations offline in 2010. With no Loran-C signal, Coast Survey followed suit and began to eliminate Loran-C lattices from nautical charts. Most charting customers welcomed the removal of the busy lattices from the chart as it made the chart more readable”.
    • “So why do some people still want nautical charts with a Loran-C lattice? Prior to GPS, many fishermen and commercial diving operations did not use a true latitude and longitude (Lat/Lon) geographic coordinate system to position their offshore features. They identified their favorite fishing or diving locations by Loran-C time delay coordinates. When Loran-C lattices were removed from NOAA charts, many fishermen were left with Loran-C coordinates that had no corresponding Lat/Lon. Therefore, they did not have a way of plotting their Loran-C coordinates on current charts”.
