President of Estonia, Alar Karis, has raised the issue of years of GPS interference in Baltics to ITU. GNSS is important critical infrastructure and attacks on has to be taken more seriously

A nice press release with the wider context of the #FOSS4GE @foss4ge conference happening right now in #tartu2024 #GIS #geospatial @OSGeo and its meaning for #Estonia https://t.co/qKZhxQnFyL

Thank you for all the interesting talks and discussions on Mobile Tartu. In the last panel it was agreed that there should be more mobility research towards impactful results and this is possible only though collaboration. Couldn't agree more

We have a new article out 🤩 The article introduces a methodology on generating population statistics from mobile positioning data and discusses on how can crisis management benefit from that information. The paper is openly accessible until Oct. 5, 2023 https://t.co/IEAjIiA4ae

Google has a lot of map data and has been using it mainly as part of its advertisement services, but is it the first time they plan to sell the data? Interesting also that they estimate to be the value 300K a day for this one specific use case

Counter intuitive, but in total, commuting trips are not the biggest share of trips or distance travelled

Kahjuks Eesti vanemaealiste tervis on üks Euroopa halvemaid. Huvitav on aga ka see, et Eesti linnades elavatel 65+ inimestel pole parem tervis kui mitte linnades elavatel nii nagu valdavalt mujal Euroopas. Miks nii?

I think the most famous story in this line is about a guy who carried 99 phones in cart and caused virtual traffic jam and most probably different routing directions for others

This is quite interesting hack to make a "DDOS on taxi/delivery" orders. On #mobiletartu conference we were discussing w/ @mattzook about the need to study vulnerabilities of geo systems affecting physical world.

The 10th Opinion Festival was held in Paide recently. Erki Saluveer @erkisal participated in the discussion “Why do I have to trust my data to the state?” which was organised by Statistics Estonia. The discussion revolved mostly around who should have the control over the data.

I'm suprised that Google was able to respond so quickly. What should be an acceptable time for those big map service providers to update politically important POIs? A day, week, month...?

Today, Estonian government relocated a Soviet T-34 tank monument from Narva to War Museum in Tallinn. Interesting is that the monument POI has been already completely removed from @googlemaps. The POI is still visible in @bingmaps, Apple Maps and OSM (OK, that I changed myself)

Here is interesting tracking story by @Samir_Madani from @TankerTrackers to discover that the first grain ship to leave Ukraine under UN-brokered deal has currently ended up in Tartus, Syria.

“russia’s best ally and secret weapon: Mercator projection” Mercator has given us a distorted view of the world. russia is not as big and scary as you think. Compare russia and US. russia is 17M sq km, US is 9.8M sq km.

Mobile Tartu 2022 is over this time. There were many interesting presentations and most importantly great discussions on the topics of mobility data and its use. See you next time!
