Say i wanted to get into earth observation stuff and wanted more recent/detailed data then google maps; whats a good 'my first satellite image vendor'?
I keep getting adds for sky-fi but i wanted to check in with the tooters before deciding on a platform
I've finally done it. This is the moment you've all been waiting for. Please welcome to the map style...
TRAIN TRACKS!
A lot of other maps use a light grey line for trains, and in some (coughGooglecough) it's hard to tell what they even are. So I decided to take a different approach and give them their own color. Also unlike most other maps, I gave distinct styles to light and heavy rail.
Take a look at your nearest station and let me know how I did!
Map style update! I've addressed a lot of the feedback from previous posts. I've also added colors for landcover, and place names now appear in your native language (if available).
Find your favorite place and let me know how it looks! #mapstodon
Hello, #MAPstodon I’ve been exploring with mapping in After Effects lately. Here is one of my recent maps, a re-creation of an 1800s classic map by Cheyyson, complete w/ audio 🔉. I presented this map at last month’s Esri UC along with a couple other re-imagined classic maps.
And to be honest, I'm quite in awe by the growing quality of the timeline.
It keeps maturing and is now an open window on a rich and diverse content focused around cartography and geospatial, with its fair share of freshening off-topic posts.
Thank you all for your presence and for sharing such interesting stuff! Can't wait for the next 8 months!
Imagine … taking a train from Brantford to Goderich … or from Glencoe to Strathroy … or from Palmerston to Elora … or, well, to just about anywhere (CN passenger rail system 1958) #transit#trains#urbanism#maps#mapstodon#transport#ontario
Interesting article on the Romans. I wonder if the use of salmon pink is due to the British framing of themselves as the just inheritors of the Roman Empire?
Itineraries rather than maps is an interesting way to frame the world.
