Abstract

This article examines the main differences between Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and Global Positioning System (GPS) and how VGI can be more useful for developing countries like Panama, rather than for developed countries like the United States. It focuses on the application Waze and how it contributes to mapping countries by using VGI.
