3/ First speaker was Harald Körtge who took us on a walk down memory lane sharing his experiences programming a routing service for Palm Pilot devices over 20 years ago.

While the hardware has changed radically since then, many of the core concepts remain

#geomobBER

Many routing concepts from long ago remain highly relevant today

5/ Next up was Alana Belcon, sharing her life-long love of maps, and taking us through the major milestones in the history of human map making.

She closed with the wise reminder to never trust the map, to always question everything
