Congratulations to those who have been short-listed and thanks to all who have registered for the challenge, posted ideas and comments.

Whether you were short-listed or not, if you’ve got experience or knowledge to help flesh out the ideas then come along and be part of it, by registering for a place at GeoVation Camp . The most exciting ideas will be chosen to go forward to pitch for a slice of £150,000 in innovation funding from Ideas in Transit (and also up to £10,000 for best use of OS OpenData) at the GeoVation Showcase at Ordnance Survey on 4 May.
