Hiroyuki Iseki, assistant professor at the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland, was part of a team that developed a GIS map. At his desk at the University of Maryland, Professor Hiroyuki Iseki has a Google map of post-earthquake Japan up on his screen. This is not just any map. One of its features is the ability to track car locations by GPS to show whether or not a road is blocked.
