520 "Never Lost Again chronicles the evolution of mapping
technology--the "overnight success twenty years in the
making." Bill Kilday takes us behind the scenes of the
tech's development, and introduces to the team that gave
us not only Google Maps but Google Earth, and most
recently, Pokémon GO. He takes us back to the beginning to
Keyhole--a cash-strapped startup mapping company started
by a small-town Texas boy named John Hanke, that nearly
folded when the tech bubble burst. While a contract with
the CIA kept them afloat, the company's big break came
with the first invasion of Iraq; CNN used their technology
to cover the war and made it famous. Then Google came on
the scene, buying the company and relaunching the software
as Google Maps and Google Earth. Eventually, Hanke's
original company was spun back out of Google, and is now
responsible for Pokémon GO and the upcoming Harry Potter:
Wizards Unite. Kilday, the marketing director for Keyhole
and Google Maps, was there from the earliest days, and
offers a personal look behind the scenes at the tech and
the minds developing it. But this book isn't only a look
back at the past; it is also a glimpse of what's to come.
Kilday reveals how emerging map-based technologies
including virtual reality and driverless cars are going to
upend our lives once again. Never Lost Again shows us how
our worldview changed dramatically as a result of vision,
imagination, and implementation. It's a crazy story. And
it all started with a really good map."--Amazon.com.
