Our Mission

Mobility comes in various formats: on the road, in the air, on the rivers, and on rails – just to name a few. It is targeted either for commercial transport, for commuting or for leisure. And it is changing continuously...

Symbolic Change

Have you realized that often road signs look a little bit outdated with historical cars, trucks and steam locomotives? And if you are enjoying German roads you may notice that they look kind of generalized and modern. But why...

Simulating Uniquely Modified Objectives

At GEONATIVES we spend some time to improve simulation by making them more realistic and therefore more reliable and spread the word about it. Is it worth to attend conferences which seem to have always similar presentations about hese topics? Yes, it is...

Simulation of Unknown Motion

When it comes to assuring functionality of complex systems, minor causes may have major implications impacting credibility of simulation results. From real-world situations, we would like to postulate that simulation become more realistic in how it resembles individual agents...

The World of Data

On March 30th, 2026, the World Data Organization (WDO) held its inaugural assembly in Beijing China...

Orientation of Language

Sometimes while looking outside the box we find interesting relations to geodata. This time we came across a research from 2010 working on the relation of how our mother tongue impacts the way we locate things and put them in order related to time...

Experts’ voices: The GIS year in review

We could hardly have wished for a better end to our 2025 series of posts than by (virtually) sitting together with Michael Scholz, research associate and spatial data cruncher at the German Aerospace Center (DLR e.V.) in Braunschweig...

State of Maps

With the advancing of ADAS to ADS, new requirements arise towards map data. Also new tools such as Language Models influence map creation. Let's read the map of map creation...

Niantic Spatial’s Large Geospatial Model

For every problem there is a solution and if we deal with geodata there should be also a spatial intelligence tool. This principle applies to "AI domain" as well and Niantic has a very good foundation for starting a promising enterprise to build a large geospatial model (LGM)...
