“This tool visualizes near real-time (NRT) satellite-based fire perimeters, active portions of fire perimeters (fire lines), and active fire pixel detections for the current year.
Use the bottom panel to select different date ranges or subset fires by size, duration, or intensity. Click on an individual fire to visualize the time series of fire growth every 12 hours and create video outputs in GIF or WebM formats.
These fire tracking data are from the Fire Event Data Suite (FEDS) algorithm. Find out more:
• FEDS data source documentation
• OpenVEDA documentation
• Earthdata VEDA dashboard..."

#Chicago artists: DCASE's 2026 Individual #Artists Program #Grant application is now open! I'm a past awardee. ^^ Both times I applied, I was selected to receive the #grant!: The first was for my ongoing city-wide #interactive #publicart and #mapping project, Dreams of a City* (http://artistsonthelam.blogspot.com/p/dreams-of-city.html); the second was when I conceived of SLAYSIAN** (http://www.artistsonthelam.com/slaysian-2).

Moscow Times: Yandex Updates Maps to Reduce Navigation Errors Amid GPS Disruptions. “Disruptions to satellite navigation have become increasingly common in Russia as the military deploys anti-drone systems to counter Ukrainian attacks that rely on GPS guidance. Those measures have included signal jamming and spoofing, particularly near sensitive locations such as the Kremlin, causing widespread […]
The latest #SketchMapTool release now integrates with #OpenAerialMap, letting you add freshly captured drone or openly licensed imagery as a background layer using just an image ID. 🗺️
This empowers local actors and community mappers to combine aerial views with on-the-ground knowledge in a single, seamless workflow.
As a result, #ParticipatoryMapping becomes even more accessible and efficient, in #humanitarian contexts and beyond!

King County:
Find Alerts that Impact You
December 15, 2025
Due to a high volume of public requests for information about the specific locations of emergency evacuation alerts, we are making a King County Emergency Alerts Mapping tool available to the public.
This tool is experimental and imperfect, however it is being updated with accurate information. Addresses can be put into the search bar at the top of the map, and people can see if their addresses are within any alert zones.
Loving the new "Constellation Map" view on Native Land Digital:
https://native-land.ca/maps/constellation
#NativeLand #IndigenousMapping #NativeLandDigital #maps #mapping #cartography #geography
But in this set-up I'm only saving coordinates; not the (much richer) OpenStreetMap node ID.
Also, it all feels quite hacky and complicated.
Isn't there an easier way?
And if there isn't, should we try to build it?

Do you want to play with Europe relief ?
See this interactive map: https://eurostat.github.io/gridviz/examples/demos/EUR_relief.html
You can rise mountains, shade and smooth them, and why not flood everything !

"Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
Yes, you read that correctly. “The name of this lake delighted and baffled us when it started clogging the Top Lookups list on Merriam-Webster.com,” the dictionary’s editors said. In the Roblox game Spelling Bee!, the Massachusetts lake’s name can be encountered in special modes. But in New England? It’s known as Webster Lake."

A new urban train service has launched today in Antananarivo. Do your thing, OpenStreetMap.
Prediction: In one year, it still won't be in Google Maps.

Color Codes on Google Maps
Of all the interesting skills that I have learned recently, I believe that my digital footprint was perhaps among the easiest of such skills. When identifying points of interest, I have largely considered places based on the color code, often identifying the color purple as the color of numerous attractions, including museum attractions, many of which are not more than moderately pricey and some of which are free of charge with donations encouraged.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/12/13/color-codes-on-google-maps/
