[soft] Maperitive Earth Survey This page provides links to free applications that run in the Google Earth desktop client, the Google Earth mobile client (ESMobile), and the Google Maps API (ESMaps). Earth Survey is a collection of geodetic tools that run in Google Earth. Most of the applications have geographical extents associated with the United States, but MagDec, RINGS, and XYZGE work anywhere on the globe, while HCBM will be of interest primarily to Central Florida surveyors. QUADS and PLSGE provide easy access to data and image services from the USGS and BLM, respectively. Download the Earth Survey Shortcut for easy access to Earth Survey tools from the Google Earth embedded web browser. DEFLEC12B for Google Earth (DeflecGE) DeflecGE is a graphical front end for the NGS online tool, DEFLEC12B. Earth Survey Maps (ESMaps) ESMaps is an implementation of the Google Maps JavaScript API version 3. See also Earth Survey Maps - Mobile (ESMaps-m). Earth Survey Mobile (ESMobile) GEOID12B for Google Earth (GeoidGE)

[site de carto] explication de prettymaps prettymaps is an experimental map from Stamen Design. It is an interactive map composed of multiple freely available, community-generated data sources: All the Flickr shapefiles rendered as a semi-transparent white ground on top of which all the other layers are displayed. Urban areas from Natural Earth both as a standalone layer and combined with Flickr shapefiles for cities and neighbourhoods. In all there are four different raster layers and six data layers (that mean all the map data is sent in its raw form and rendered as visual elements by the browser) that may be visible depending on the bounding box and zoom level of the map. It looks (at least for the stuff you can see) like this: But when you put it all together here's what the world looks like at zoom level 3: This clustering effect offers a view of built environments around the world but also a visual representation of those places where no data has been recorded. At zoom level 8 city names are shown alongside motorways:

GISuser.com GIS Location Technology - Home GPS Visualizer [site] Cartographie esthétique prettymaps The short version is simply that there's a huge amount of data being sent across the network and then processed and finally rendered by your computer. We've looked at the logs for the machine hosting prettymaps and it seems happy enough serving all the requests that people are sending it. The other reason is that the data hasn't been compressed or optimized as much it could be. We haven't done a lot of optimizations by design because we wanted to leave all the plumbing exposed so that people could look at it and learn from it and, hopefully, build something new. Which is cold comfort if you're one of those people waiting on the ghosts in the Internets to hurry up and show you what all the fuss is about so we've also created a static, non-interactive, version of the map so you can at least get a flavour for the work.

:: Geoportale Nazionale :: The National Geoportal of the Ministry of Environment and Protection of Land and Sea, operates within the regulatory framework established by Legislative Decree no. 32/2010 and subsequent amendments and additions, the Italian transposition of the European Directive 2007/2 / EC establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). Article.8 paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree no. 32/2010 provides that the National Geoportal is the national access point for the aims of the INSPIRE Directive thereby providing a basis for the competent authorities, third parties, and private citizens to seek the spatial information available. The National Geoportal is at the core of a network architecture designed as a federated network in which each node is "connected" to the central access point that is the National Geoportal itself.
