When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1 I can only recommend just getting started.
Nejpoužívanější mapový portál v ČR s celou řadou tématických map - základní, turistickou, cyklistickou, dopravní a plno dalších. Nabízí možnost reálného leteckého, panoramatického nebo 3D pohledu.
There is one feature of #LocusMap that I really like: you can take a picture of a map, calibrate it with the standard map and then have it as an overlay.
Very handy when you take the kids to the zoo or amusement park. 👌
#Mapycz are now launching their premium version. I'm not sure if it is in response to that. But #LocusMap, a lovely #OpenStreetMap based app focused on outdoor activities built by a small company from #Prague, now has a 6 month trial of their premium plans. Check it out! 👇
- @protomaps are now available as background layer - All other #vector background layers were apparently broken as well. Not anymore! Carto, Alidade, MapTiler carto, Americana, ... all work again - A new #map about memorials is now available: mapcomplete.org/memorials.html
(To change the background layer, press the 'layers' icon on the bottom left)
- #ski pistes - #aerialways - 3D-visualisation of the terrain - various useful POI, such as #guideposts, information boards, #restaurants mountain #rescue stations, ...
All data is of course based on #OpenStreetMap (with the addition of height data and aerial imagery of course)
This might or might not be created because @pietervdvn went #skiing last week ;)
Here on Earth, ~1,000 babies will be born in the next 4.5 minutes.
Data scientist Pratap Vardhan created this data visualization showing where they will be located based on estimated population & birth rates. pratapvardhan.com #map #data
It's an intriguing and clear example of the intersection of truth and beauty in mathematics. A introductory map of the world of the Mandelbrot Set. #datavisualization #dataviz #maps #map #math #mathematics
While at NASA/JPL the other day, I visited an old friend: the hand assembled and colored map from the first Mariner 4 tv image. A geologist got impatient waiting for the image processing folks to assemble the image, so they printed out the raw values onto tiny strips, stapled them to a wall, and hand-colored it with pastels. To save the map, it was sawed out of the wall and framed as a gift to the Lab director. Recently remounted and preserved. #NASA #JPL #Map #Mariner4 #Pastels #Geologist
