Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Mapping 2010-2011 Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket... The New York / New Jersey metropolitan region is home to several projects with many partnering organizations, community groups, and individuals.

Welcome to the Public Laboratory's open data archive. To better fulfill our goal of producing new open-source data sets, this site serves as the repository of those sets online, and as a starting point for the discourse we hope they will spark.
For over a decade, Stamen has been exploring cartography with our clients and in research . These three maps are presented here for your enjoyment and use wherever you display OpenStreetMap data. These high-contrast B+W (black and white) maps are featured in our Dotspotting project. They are perfect for data mashups and exploring river meanders and coastal zones. Available in three flavors: normal, no labels, only labels.

It is built from the ground up to work efficiently and smoothly on both desktop and mobile platforms like iOS and Android, taking advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 on modern browsers. 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).

When you say Star Wars, most people think of galaxies far far away. But all these exotic planets from the movies were filmed on earth. Four of the Star Wars movies were partially filmed in southern Tunisia (the planet Tatooine in the movies) and the good thing is that many of the locations are still in relative good state. You can stay in Luke Skywalker's home (now a hotel) and wander around the desert bumping into moisture vaporators and other Star Wars stuff around the Mos Espa set. Because Star wars is not well known in Tunisia, this article will introduce you to some famous locations from the movies and show you how to get there. So when you go on vacation to Tunisia, check out some of the locations over there.

To date, the documentation and open science literature we've made as a community has been published under a Creative Commons ShareAlike license, allowing anyone to reuse, remix, adapt, improve, and redistribute our works. Today, the PLOTS Web working group would like to propose that we as a community adopt a separate license for our hardware designs, and after much consultation, we'd like to adopt the CERN Open Hardware License . Here is a prototype rig that performed well on its maiden flight. The design might be appropriate for matched visible/IR cameras for vertical photography, like the Canon A495s from the Balloon Mapping Kickstarter project.Frank Jacobs loves maps, but finds most atlases too predictable. He collects and comments on all kinds of intriguing maps—real, fictional, and what-if ones—and has been writing the Strange Maps blog since 2006, first on WordPress and now for Big Think. His map " US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs " has been viewed more than 587,000 times. An anthology of maps from this blog was published by Penguin in 2009 and can be purchased from Amazon and Barnes & Noble .

So, I’m late to the game and only just learning about the coolness that is python. To be honest, for years the need to keep the indents in the code neat and tidy put me off, but I figured I’d better have a proper look at some point. I spent some time over Christmas going over some tutorials (more below) and more recently I’ve chosen a python-based approach to problems where previously I would have used a different method. So far so good though no doubt my efforts will make grown coders weep…

There has been a lot of fairly excitable posting recently about the continuing rise of OpenStreetMap, and how it’s now being used in place of Google Maps, in particular since Google started charging for data. People have been talking about how “ authoritative ” crowd-sourced spatial data can be, and to be honest, I’ve found that the discussions seem to have missed the point a little bit. For me at least.Map Maker

Introduction If you want maps for your Garmin GPSr and don't want to use Topo GB then you could use the FREE ones from OpenStreetMap [ http://www.openstreetmap.org/ ]. The map files offered here are compiled from the mapping data at OpenStreetMap. The license for these maps are FREE, here is some data from the OpenStreetMap site:

Version 2.0.1 Now Up! Version 2.0.1 is primarily a maintenance release, fixing a number of small bugs and cleaning up a few things that weren't quite right in v.2.0. Anyone using v.2.0 should probably upgrade to v.2.0.1 , as it is more stable and includes very few changes other than bug fixes and new unit tests. See the changelog for more details. Upgrading to v.2.x: Timemap.js v.2.x includes several important changes from 1.x: it removes the dependency on Google Maps v2, and adds dependencies on jQuery and the Mapstraction library to allow support for multiple map providers, including Google v3, OpenLayers, and Bing Maps.NottinghamCaves BBC are looking for air-raid shelter stories from Nottingham, for a forthcoming documentary.
