First of all, fuzzy search is no biggie for Google. Google Search Instant works great, and I can't see any reason why the Instant technology wouldn't work just as well for Maps--which leads me to believe that they have a reason for not releasing a Maps Instant. Even if your fuzzy learning algorithm is superior to Google's, Google has way more data, and more data > better algorithm anytime.

Your backend technology may have promise, but you probably need to apply it on a more niche and less traversed market than location search, one that BigCos like Google wouldn't consider.

In any case, good luck!




Agreed completely. I am glad you noticed the value of our backend technologies.
