| Volunteered geographic information is one the most significant advances in GIScience following the well-known elements of Web 2.0. It has been mainly looked at as a source of information, and the focus has been on improving its usage, understanding, and quality. This paper opens a discussion on considering VGI as an implicit source of users’ experience, which provides general users with solutions to help them take actions like an expert. As a case study, the idea has been applied on estimating the optimum travel time path through information collected by experts. Having introduced the methodology, the results for some examples are presented and discussed. |
