Google Earth and Google Earth Plus™ 17 mapping software have several advantageous features for such community mapping. Such an approach is congruent with the extensive literature examining neighborhoods and their effects on health. The community diagnosis informs not only individual clinical practice, but also community-wide efforts to promote health. 11 COPC was originally developed in the 1940s by the Karks in South Africa and was described by them as “a practice of social medicine.” 12 COPC begins with a community diagnosis, which is often based on detailed community maps. 8 Consistent with the principles of social medicine, 9, 10 we have adopted an approach incorporating elements of Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC). Today, this process is largely automated as tech giants such as Bing, Google and Apple, use algorithms that grab satellite data and ground measurements from a variety of datasets to keep maps updated - meaning that they can usurp state topographical organisations.Diabetes and obesity are important problems in the predominantly working-class and immigrant communities served by the Department of Family and Social Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center. Then, when flight became more common, topographical services began the practice of photogrammetry, where stereo images - image pairs that are slightly offset from each other - were compared using a stereoscope which then informed the creation of a topographic map. In a pre-digital era, map surveyors would have been out on foot taking measurements and recording where things were in particular locations, which were then relayed to a map draughtsperson - usually part of a state topographical service. To begin to understand what prompts people to hide things on digital maps, it pays to take a step back to understand how cartography happens today. Prior to GPS, illustration and aerial photography provided the bulk of cartographic information.
