It's nesting season in Southern Ontario. Geese are notoriously territorial about their nests, so finding a way across the campus at the Univerity of Waterloo (where the Blackberry was originally developed) that avoids goose nests is important.
The university's Open Data API Mapping Analysis and Design (MAD) has been applied to developing an online mapping program that allows students and faculty to find routes across campus that avoid reported goose nests.
Find a safe route through campus here.
Thanks to Glenn Letham for pointing me to this.
