I need two kinds of tools. First, to make a rendering of roads and crudely drawn buildings around. That's for demonstrating how to rebuild a street to add cycle lanes and wider sidewalks. And trees. Nothing too flashy, but should be understandable and fly-able over in a video. Like the first picture.

Second, I have a photo, and want to add greenery, cycle lanes, walkways, remove cars maybe, though not important. Create before-and-after shots, like the second picture. #gischat

Screenshot from a video of a new highway development. 3D-rendering of a plan, from a fly-over. Shows asphalted roads and a large highway junction with a bridge. Some cycle lanes and sidewalks are visible. There are little cars on the roads.Two photos of the same place in the center of Tallinn, which are exactly the same, but the bottom one was adjusted. "Before" picture on top, "After" below. On top there is a parking lot with many cars, on the bottom — a park with benches a trees.

Earlier this month, #TomPatterson released a free (public domain) print-quality physical map of maritime Southeast Asia. It could actually almost double as a map of SEA except the northern part of Myanmar is cut off. 🗺️

A couple comments about the #Philippines 🇵🇭 portion: Mayon should’ve been included in the peaks and the choice of spelling is unusual (e.g., “Pulog” instead of “Pulag”). But the map is excellent otherwise.

The exploring continues, decided to plot the with #maplibre using #pmtiles and some extrusion based on the unique activity count per hexagon.

Pretty awesome. Finding the right color palette is difficult though. Anyone any online resources with some background info about that?

Plotted 4.5 million points of my Strava activity in a specific country.

Without any contextual information, I guess it's not that hard to guess the country?

hey #gischat does anyone know how to turn off the REMARKABLY irritating tooltip-on-hover thing when georeferencing points in Arc Pro?

The most important geospatial software?: I like the occasional bold theory. A month ago, Drew Breunig blogged about a very bold one: #DuckDB probably being the most important geospatial software of the last decade. What gives?

Next week I’ll be at the LPS conference in Vienna! 🌍🛰️

If you’re around and would like to meet up to chat about geocomputation, open science, or anything related, let me know!

Texas - The Lone Star State

Made with #QGIS and #Blender

#Cartography #Maps #GisChat

Satellite topographical map of Texas. The state outline is highlighted against a darker background. The image dramatically shows Texas's diverse geography: the arid desert regions of West Texas appear in reddish-brown and tan colors, including the distinctive Big Bend area along the Rio Grande. The Hill Country in central Texas shows as rolling green terrain. Heavily forested, dark green areas characterize East Texas. The Gulf Coast appears as a bright blue line along the southeastern border. The Rio Grande forms the distinctive curved southern border with Mexico. Major urban areas, such as Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin, are visible as lighter patches. The map effectively illustrates the state's remarkable geographic diversity from desert to forest to coast.
