MapCompare Comments

I've been receiving a lot of comments about the MapCompare app. Here are a few:

"Very cool! Thank you for sharing it on the GISCO list!"

"This looks awesome--nice job. Thanks for putting this together and taking an objective look at those APIs. Someone needed to do this and I'm thankful and impressed that you did..."

"that's pretty cool.. looks useful for people trying to figure out what they want..."

"holy sh#t! This is awesome!"

And my personal favorite:

"Looks good to me. FYI: I also masked my e-mail address by using a bogus e-mail. Hope it works for you. Also... secondarily is a word. You can check its usage at:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/secondarily

Plus, if you do not have spell check, you can check the spelling of other words at dictionary.com Eg: the word 'purspose' in your introduction tab within the "About MapCompare".

I guess the only real question you should ask yourself is... how does your application vary from the Google Maps application at http://maps.google.com/ ???"

This last one confused me a little. They start out liking it, then seem to hate it by the end of the email. First, thanks for pointing out the multitude of spelling mistakes I made. By the way, you spelled my last name wrong, your email spoof said "scott.seigerwald@gmail.com", you missed the "t". I guess spell check won't work there though, eh? I will leave the spelling mistakes there out of spite. Also, you missed the point of this application, apparently. The application differs from Google Maps very much, I think. I am allowing you to compare three mapping resources to compare their symbology, accuracy, etc. Oh well.

Final note, if you are going to send something through my web form, it is not 100% anonymous. For example, the last chap, I was able to gather they were from a certain county in the Western part of Colorado. From there, it was kind of easy to narrow down who sent it.

Anyway, I hope everyone continues to enjoy the app!
