We’ve enabled direct connections to outside PostgreSQL databases. You can use your data directly in GIS Cloud, without need to previously upload or import data. Allow external connections to the database, create a new connection, set database settings to establish the connection, and you’re ready to create maps. It is simple as that. Read More

Our staff are encouraged to blog on this site, but the views expressed are individual and do not necessarily represent those of Fubra. We love Google products much like why we love Apple here at Fubra (apart from those who don’t believe in the great Steve Jobs), they work and work well.

I’ve been working on a new OpenStreetMap base map, using recent experiments in vector processing and elevation rendering, and modeled on some of the characteristics of Google’s terrain layer . There are screen shots here, and an actual tile layer Real Soon Now. Many months ago Nelson Minar prodded me to think about an open-source alternative to the Big G’s terrain map, and after some initial experiments with hill shading based on an old post of mine from three years ago , I started working on a more extensible set of stylesheets and TileStache layers. It usually doesn’t take long for me to overthink a project, so this simple task turned into kind of a behemoth that’s I’m just managing to bring in for a landing now.

Good bye, Google Maps… thanks for all the fish TL;DR: We at StreetEasy decided to build our own maps using, among other tools, OpenStreetMap, TileMill, MapBox and Leaflet, instead of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to Google. And yes, the money pushed us into doing it, but we're happier with the result because we now control the contents of our maps. (and now there is a follow up post too https://plus.google.com/118383351194421484817/posts/8x6xSQYypwt ) We were all happy... Our site, StreetEasy ( http://streeteasy.com/ ), has been using Google Maps embedded in our pages for the last 6 years.

The focus is on usability, performance, small size, A-grade browser support, convention over configuration and an easy-to-use API . The OOP-based code of the library is designed to be modular, extensible and very easy to understand. The project is hosted on GitHub , waiting for your contributions — just send your pull requests to Vladimir Agafonkin (Leaflet maintainer).

Today we take a virtual trip to Portugal where we will take a peek into this stunning country home in Palmela , which is not far from Lisbon. This is the refuge of interior designer Monica Penaguião . The building itself is simple and rustic, it’s the mix of modern furniture that gives color to the various rooms. The lounge area (top image) is stunning. Thick mattresses and cushions made from Turkish fabrics are great for an afternoon nap. The kilim rug is an antique.
