Hi Ben,

I've been doing a bit more thinking/research about the project. We should have a look at OpenStreetMap, which allows you to construct your own map depending on how you use your environment... It would be good work on ways of capturing people's occupations and movements (ie 'what do you do?', 'where do you do it?', 'how do you get there?'). You can create peronsalised map 'layers' with this tool (with lots of interesting applications in their gallery): http://gallery.openlayers.org/.

Do let me know what you all think, and I'll see you next week.

Best wishes

Jamie
