Processing geo information in Wikipedia articles - Creative Coding - Tutorial
Introduction This tutorial is on how to lookup and geocode places in a Wikipedia article and visualize those with the help of Processing. It gives a basic overview on the related topics, and provides mutiple Processing examples, below. Yahoo Placemaker is a "geoparsing web service" that enrichs content with geographic metadata by extracting places from unstructured texts. It finds, identifies and disambiguates place names from textual content and returns the place with its geo-location and additional information, such as its type (e.g. country, or town). Different place names can be recognized (e.g.
This page presents a variety of calculations for latitude/longitude points, with the formulæ and code fragments for implementing them. All these formulæ are for calculations on the basis of a spherical earth (ignoring ellipsoidal effects) – which is accurate enough * for most purposes… [In fact, the earth is very slightly ellipsoidal; using a spherical model gives errors typically up to 0.3% – see notes for further details]. Distance This uses the ‘ haversine ’ formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points – that is, the shortest distance over the earth’s surface – giving an ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distance between the points (ignoring any hills, of course!).

This is a resource to help you incorporate ISO 3166-1 country names and their corresponding ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country codes into your applications. ISO 3166-1, as part of the ISO 3166 standard, provides codes for the names of countries and dependent territories, and is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The official name of the standard is Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes.

Download Style from GitHub Acetate is a new way of thinking about basemap tiles. Made in conjunction with Stamen Design and 41 Latitude, it allows you to layer pieces of the basemap throughout your visualization. We think what we came up with is quite beautiful, but if it’s not to your tastes all the stylesheets and code is opensource so you can roll your own. For developers, GeoIQ has released the stylesheets and code to create the Acetate tiles.

Just choose a country and a way to create your map by color , type values or by uploading your excel files (you can even use your zip / postal code column to get the best and most accurate maps !)
GeoPlanet Explorer
Welcome to the GeoPlanet Explorer. Here you can explore the geographical information provided by Yahoo in the GeoPlanet API and data set . Simply enter a location in the form above and submit it to get detailed information about the place you are looking for - including its ancestors, siblings, children and other relationships. Here's the information about the location you requested. Click any of the links to reload this page to learn more about this location.This open-source application maps the information that your iPhone is recording about your movements. It doesn't record anything itself, it only displays files that are already hidden on your computer. The file exists on PCs too, but we haven't written a version of the application that runs on Windows ourselves. If you do a web search, you'll now find versions that other people have created, but while we have no reason to believe they contain any malicious code, we haven't inspected and verified any of them ourselves. Since we can't vouch for them we don't feel capable of recommending one in particular. If you run it on an OS X machine that you’ve been syncing with an iPhone or an iPad with cellular plan, it will scan through the backup files that are automatically made, looking for the hidden file containing your location.

Animé par la volonté d'échanger et de partager autour de la production des cartes animées, Cartomouv a construit des outils et collecté des travaux théoriques et pratiques qu'il souhaite mettre à disposition des chercheurs et des étudiants francophones qui s'interrogent sur ces nouvelles représentations cartographiques.

There’s an increasing amount of useful packages that allow for spatial analysis in python. Having said that, actually drawing a map remains relatively tricky, here I am sharing a few of the methods that I have come up with recently to help in this area. Firstly, let’s consider the basic set of prerequisites that you should have installed to do some useful things in Python. Numpy and Scipy – easy_install Numpy / easy_install Scipy Numeric Python and Scientific Python vastly extend the scientific programming capabilities of Python. Numpy adds the array() object which, for numeric matters, is far superior to the standard Python List, as well as numerous mathematical methods.

Over the past few months we have been harvesting geospatial data from Twitter with the aim of creating a series of new city maps based on Twitter data. Via a radius of 30km around New York, London, Paris, Munich we have collated the number of Tweets and created our New City Landscape Maps. New York New City Landscape Image by urbanTick using the GMap Image Cutter / New York New City Landscape -Use the Google Maps style zoom function in the top right corner to zoom into the map and explore it in detail. Explore areas you know close up and find new locations you have never heard of.

jTomtom est un logiciel libre permettant la mise à jour des GPS Tomtom et plus précisément la mise à jour de la fonction GPS QuickFix des Tomtom Interface graphique du logiciel OGR2OGR qui permet de convertir entre eux les fichiers de données vectoriels des Systèmes d’information géographique (SIG) L'annuaire de logiciels libre de Framasoft ne vise pas l'exhaustivité mais plutôt à vous proposer la meilleure sélection de logiciels libres. Cependant, il est possible (voire probable) qu'il manque d'excellents logiciels dans la catégorie "Sciences : Cartographie". L'annuaire étant collaboratif, vous seuls pouvez nous aider à le compléter et à l'enrichir.
