Just donated $100 to the amazing Organic Maps project: Trackerless, fully offline, OSM based, open source mapping for Android/iOS. Great UX & routing, super fast & good coverage even of hiking paths, elevation lines & public transport layers...
From their website: "Organic Maps is one of a few applications nowadays that supports 100% of features without an active Internet connection. Install Organic Maps, download maps, throw away your SIM card (by the way, your operator constantly tracks you), and go for a weeklong trip on a single battery charge without any byte sent to the network."
For MLK day here in the US, I'm going to be doing some equity #mapping work with #OpenStreetMap#OpenTripPlanner#QGIS and mabe some #Nodejs and posting some updates throughout the day in this thread. If that's your jam, follow along.
Otherwise, you may want to mute me for 24 hours, because this may get noisy. 🧵
Today's fun/success: managed to whip together some software in a few hours on Friday to map out the path of the eclipse totality in real time, and it worked today! I guess I can use it again in 2044, LOL. #software#gis#mapping
Looking for #GIS data? I curate a list of 3,000 addresses for government ArcGIS servers, from federal to local. Each week my code scans each address and any bad links are fixed or flagged. An updated list is usually posted each Wednesday.
Here's a thread on how I'm #mapping county-level survey data for a country using #qgis and #openstreetmap. The country is #Ecuador, where the equivalent of US counties are cantons.
The survey data has columns for province and cantons. QGIS has the ability to "join" a CSV with map data, but it seems it only supports one column. So on the survey data side, I need to make "$canton, $province" into a single column.
Ukraine has made advances behind the Russian defensive network west of Verbove.
For the first time since Ukraine initially breached the line with infantry, two weeks ago Ukrainian vehicles are now in use behind the anti-vehicle ditches and dragons teeth defences.
Some people would take a photo. I shot 156 * 48MP = 7.3Gpx of data, computed a 3d model in WebODM and rendered it with moody lighting in Blender, as one does.
(Final toning & vignette in LuminarAI, just for completeness.)
This Machine Locates Fascists!
Now I will be #mapping#openstreetmap down to 30 cm accuracy! There is an #Ublox ZED-fp9 inside that box with hc-05 Bluetooth module and a li-po battery with management board. Let's see how it will do on field! #gis#osm
