One thing I forgot to mention in the post is that with a detailed map AMK can possibly create better routes for their loan officers to improve efficiency. Hey Tatiana, That's a great idea. My only concern are privacy issues, but I'll discuss it with the Kiva crew. Hey Jan,

Hey Tatiana,

That’s a great idea. My only concern are privacy issues, but I’ll discuss it with the Kiva crew.

I love it! I'd like to be able to zoom in on my borrowers' neighborhoods using Google Earth and take a look around. This really is a great idea. I love it!

They don't have the capacity to perform internal audits based off of such maps yet, but it's food for thought. Keep up the brilliant work, Sanjaya! Especially love your and Kieran's videos as companion pieces.
