Sharing etymological roots in pairs is particularly true when it comes to the word for "raspberry": For example, Lithuanian avietė & Latvian avene. it comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *áwis "sheep", because to them, raspberries resembled sheep.

Raspberry (rubus idaeus)

Joe Davies - Data Visualization & GIS At Eurostat. Exploring New Ways Of Making Maps

https://observablehq.com/@joewdavies <-- link to a portfolio

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…

With @merginmaps you can use Position Tracking and Streaming Mode when you're mapping in the field. This video that I made for the #MerginMaps YouTube channel explains the difference and shows how to digitize survey line and polygon layers using streaming mode: https://youtu.be/069-fXNqyJY?si=ao9VzU9a92jb9I5v

It also has some nice shots of the Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Haha, rad! A woman in Guyana used @terraso's story maps feature to document a motorcycle trip across the landscape.

I love this. Often in the nonprofit sector we (I) get really clinical describing my community's environment. Telling an actual narrative (road trip!) is a great way to communicate the wonderful things about a place and its people.

As a geologist AND spatial data guy, I approve, not that you maybe care... 🙃

👀 Today, i tried something special : playing with lidar datas from IGN (Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière) 🎚️

First of all, you can see here a standard lidar file. Nice and creepy ^^ 😨

ChristopheLeBas,
@ChristopheLeBas@vis.social avatar

💡 But we have a solution. Not a good one if you want my opinion but...

We can pick an orthophoto of our terrain and use it to color all our points in the lidar file. Hard time using ... 🏜️

Here, you can see the image. I downloaded it from IGN again, extract the right size from the lidar

Here is a link to CloudCompare

But, here's the result :) And it's quite satisfying to have a result :D 🗺️

And a VIDEO ? YES

With QGIS, we can create a 3D view, and a video. You have it here. 🎥

There's 600 images generatded by QGIS then assembled with GIMP. Quite... hardtime again.

I don't know why i have map 3d map, and a second map just in the back. If someone can help :)

'The methods used to collect, interpret, and disseminate map data have been evolving ever since [Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's] founding in 1912, and a digital tool newly available to the public continues that legacy of innovation. The new digital tool is an interactive, browser-based display of map data that can be updated in near-real-time with eruption features, such as lava flows.'

I've seen @everydoor mentioned a few times since I started mapping, but it always looked confusing (from the screenshots, etc. I saw).

But now that I've read Ilya's "How to use..." blog post (https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Zverik/diary/399947) and watched some of his videos about #EveryDoor (https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCwFrqiTPl_C1ppnzSmHlmSQ), I think I'm going to start using it instead of #StreetComplete now.

Philadelphia’s Hidden Etymologies [map]

[fascinating stuff, I love place and people etymologies, especially displayed with such good cartography – and I don’t even know Philadelphia!]
“This is a list of the sources of some of the place names in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…”
