"Google Earth Town" Nanaimo Wires Self To Google Maps To Drive Tourism: "The Google Earth KMLs contain Nanaimo spatial information, downtown details of buildings, and mapped Nanaimo businesses. Other data includes buildings, property lines, utilities, streets, building permit number, zoning history, garbage collection schedule, 3D renderings, and much more. Michael Jones, Google Earth's chief technology officer, said 'with Nanaimo, they have mapped nearly every conceivable thing using Google Earth and Google Maps,' adding, 'their citizens have more information about their city than the people of San Francisco.'
But why are they doing all of this? Per Kristensen, Nanaimo's chief technology officer, said it's to attract tourism:
Nanaimo is betting that embracing Google, the ubiquitous search engine that has become the starting point for most internet searches, will be good for tourism."
