I asked ChatGPT what the distances from London to Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo were and then to draw a map to show the distances. What a wonderful time to be alive. #gischat

Here are the actual calculated distances using precise geographic coordinates:
• London to Tokyo: 9,558.7 km
• London to Kuala Lumpur: 10,545.8 km
• Kuala Lumpur is farther from London than Tokyo by approximately 987 km.
This is based on great-circle (shortest path over the Earth) calculations using accurate latitude and longitude data. Let me know if you'd like to see the code or map. (*-)
Sounds fake, draw a map

Dear #gischat people. I'm looking for an open source solution for managing objects on a map. More precisely, we want to use it to manage a garden: planning layouts (at home, on a desktop machine), registering the trees we planted with their geolocation in a database (out in the field, on the phone). I'm happy to manage a server installation and do a minor amount of coding, but a smooth end user experience would be appreciated.

My current thinking is QGIS/QField/QFieldCloud. Is this a viable approach? Are there any preferable alternatives?

South Carolina - The Palmetto State

Made with #QGIS and #Blender

#Cartography #Maps #GisChat

Satellite topographical map of South Carolina. The state outline is highlighted against a dark green background. The image shows the state's varied topography, with the Blue Ridge Mountains visible as darker terrain in the northwest corner, transitioning to the rolling Piedmont region in the center, and the flat coastal plain in the southeast. The Atlantic Ocean appears as dark blue along the eastern border. Several river systems are visible cutting through the landscape. Urban areas appear as lighter patches, with the Charleston area visible along the coast. The map effectively illustrates the state's geographic transition from mountains to sea.
