Mapping used to be a simple, literal, two-dimensional exercise. Today it's a four-dimensional adventure that allows us to capture specific data points and sets in never-before-seen-detail. It lets us navigate data, understanding and predicting in ways never before imaginable and realms never before reachable -- geographic, molecular, neural. Will new mapping technologies open new vistas of opportunity and progress, or just help us find new places to get lost? Epidemico's John Brownstein, ESRI's S.J. Camarata, Jr., Andrew Gold of RF Spot, Walter Scott of Digital Globe, and Richard Tyson of the UNOCHA Data Analysis Project discuss.
