When Scott Davis isn't editing AboutGroovy.com you'll find him on the No Fluff Just Stuff tour, where he is known as both
the Groovy guy and the Google Maps guy.
Here he talks with Andrew Glover about what Google Maps has done to make geomatics, or geographic information systems, more
accessible to your average Web developer. He also discusses in-depth the options available for Java developers who require
a more sophisticated, less closed-stack GIS solution than Google Maps provides. This is an informal primer from a leading
authority on using geospatial data, Web services, and open source APIs in Java Web development.
