Want to go somewhere this weekend, but not sure where?

Try following your shadow...or if you don't want to do that - have a look at where it would have taken you.

I made a thing, and wrote about it:

https://tlohde.com/blog/2025/03/shadow-chasing/

Seeking recommendations for a #WebMapping tutorial / course?

Slightly at sea on where to start.

- My current JS skill level is _extreme novice_.
- I don't have access to ArcGIS.
- Comfortable with #QGIS [*] and the #python #geospatial ecosystem (#geopandas #xarray #rasterio and plotting with #matplotlib)

Suggestions welcome. TIA.

* I have looked at the qgis2web plugin, but having some issues associated with my aged laptop (2012 mbp running Ubuntu) and a 'Wayland session'.

If you are old enough to remember Mapquest or curious to know more about how digital maps were consumed in the early 2000s before the big G, this is a great read.

My first digital routes in late 90s where computed by some offline software (can't remember, maybe Michelin?), next was Mapquest.

Anyways I enjoyed learning about the origins of the digital mapping industry!

We launched #QuickWebViewer, a new plugin for #QGIS to publish your maps online. A solution for low tech requirements and heavy maps suitable for the cheapest servers on the market: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/QuickWebViewer/ #webmapping #QWV

Very interesting new QGIS plugin, to sit alongside #qgis2web. QuickWebViewer exports QGIS projects to MapLibre: https://gitlab.com/300000-kms/QuickWebViewer #OneToWatch #webmapping

[as someone who has spent time on many of these places, islands, this was of particular interest as a way of indicating geopolitics, applied finance, etc]

Someone on Twitter recently shared and tagged us about our Dirty Reprojectors tool. We always love it when some of our oldie but goodie projects get re-found.

Thought ya'll would like it too. Check it out here: https://github.com/developmentseed/dirty-reprojectors

Huge thread about the history of vector tiles from Nathaniel Kelso! It's the 10th anniversary of a landmark blog post by @migurski that defined much of the modern landscape of #VectorTileCartography: https://mstdn.party/@kelsoscorner/110029394759495359 #cartography #WebMapping #WebMaps #maps

J'ai saigné sur les données IGN avant que leur catalogue ne soit entièrement refondu (bien mieux, même si c'est encore rangé bizarrement).
Mais je dois dire que l'IGN c'est du beurre en comparaison des services cartographiques des UK. C'est juste l'enfer de s'y retrouver. Impossible de trouver un service orthophoto en WMS/WMTS.
Je m'arrache les cheveux !
