Dette er typisk. Det er ikke mange år siden at jeg oplevede at en kommunemedarbejder stolt fortalte at nu var deres kommuneplaner digitalt tilgængelige på nettet. Naivt troede jeg at nu var der lavet en interaktive side med kort, tekster og det hele. Hvad det viste sig var at de havde fået lavet PDF'er ud af alle deres papirudgaver af planerne og med det resultat at de fyldte et sted imellem 20 og 30 Mb stykket. Man skal tænke på at det er ikke mange år siden at båndbredden var betydelig smallere end gennemsinitligt idag så resultatet af det formodentligt store arbejde var ubrugeligt ... Om man er nået meget længere siden? Nej, det er svært at få øje på, men bånddbredden er da forøget ;-)

It's typical. It's not many years ago I was told by a municipality worker that they now had all their local planning digitized and accessible via the net. Naively I thought he was talking about a fully interactive page with maps, text and all. I was not. It was a whole bunch of links to PDF documents each the size of 20 to 30 Mb. Remember it was some years ago and the band width was considerably smaller. So the result of the undoubtedly huge work was useless ... Has it changed since then? No, not much, but the band width has increased ;-)

Indeed a map is worth at least 1,000 words in my mind.. I wish the mainstream media would realize this. The only reason I bring this up is because today I'm browsing through the local paper (The Colloradoan) which serves the Fort Collins area. Within the paper I see a story titled "Windsor Map shows future trails". The article rambles on about a new map the Town has created, then meanders off into discussing future proposed crossings etc... so what about the map?? Unfortunately there was no picture of a map with the article, no link to a website where a map could be found etc... pretty strange! So I investigate for myself and hit the Windsor website where a link is found to trail map - there I find alone PDF showing what appears to be trails along with the proposed trails.
