Amazon Buys 3D Mapping Startup UpNext

Ki Mae Heussner:

It looks like Amazon is building up its presence in the mapping business. The tech giant today closed a deal to acquire 3D mapping startup UpNext, GigaOM has learned.

The maps war is in full swing. Got to give credit to Google for committing itself to maps so long ago.
