The president of the British Cartographic Society has been in the news for her statement that Internet mapping is destroying the historical and geographic legacy of the United Kingdom. Mary Spence of the British Cartographic Society said that online maps are good for driving but that they leave out cultural and physical features that help people understand the geography of a place. The BBC reports that, "Ms. Spence said landmarks such as churches, ancient woodlands and stately homes were in danger of being forgotten because many internet maps fail to include them." My colleague Caitlin Dempsy of GIS Lounge provides a nice rebuttal.

One other issue is when you are in a problem where you will
not have a cosigner then you may genuinely wish to try to wear out all of your financing options.
You can get many grants and other free college funding that
will present you with funds to assist with institution expenses.
Many thanks for the post.
