Podcasts are so 2004

Apple has recently filed a patent for podmaps, podcasts' spatially enabled cousins. Apparently they plan on dynamically assembling maps, directions, and spoken guides to be loaded on your iPod and help you get from A to B. Sounds like an innovative way to bring interactive maps to those who aren't interested in cell phone data plans. Check out the filing with a bit of commentary

WOW.. Very Interesting. I can see alot of potential with this. I cannot wait to see what the Apple guys come up with. I have been waiting for a long time to see what they could do in regards to maps & GIS, etc. We get a taste with the iPhone. I have a feeling the best is yet to come.
