Did Adobe “borrow” my design?
March 9th, 2007
The Adobe XD team developed the mother of all mashups: Amgen Tour of California Tour Tracker. I did not see it when it ran live so I do not know how successful or effective it was. It is an impressive achievement. Adobe presented it at the Wednesday keynote at the recent 360Flex conference. Now that I have had a closer look at the app I have two questions:
- How did they get around the Yahoo! Maps EULA where any GPS data must be at least 6 hours old?
- Was the design influenced by my runningmap site … in particular the transparent elevation chart overly? See the images below.
