Im Dezember 2024 erschien ein Blogpost mit dem Titel "Straßenraumaufteilung in einer Online-Karte": https://geodaten-guerilla.net/blog/strassenraumaufteilung-online-karte
In diesem wurde beschrieben, wie sich eine Online-Karte erstellen lässt, in der die Aufteilung von Straßenräumen in der Stadt Kiel zu sehen ist. Zusätzlich lässt sich in dieser Karte die Stadt in "3D" erkunden.

Diese Karte hat sich nun weiterentwickelt (siehe Screenshot). Es sind 3D-Gebäudemodelle in LOD2-Qualität eingebunden. Das bedeutet zusätzlich Dächer, statt nur graue Blöcke als Gebäude.
Es sind Bäume eingebunden, die aus einem WFS der Stadt Kiel stammen und die Karte sehr viel lebendiger und wirklichkeitsnäher wirken lassen. Die Daten sind übrigens OpenData.

Die einzelnen Flächen der Straßen lassen sich nun anklicken. Dabei erfährt mensch, um was für einen Typ, bspw. Fahrbahn, Radweg, Parkplatz, es sich handelt.

Die Online-Karte wurde mit MapLibre erstellt und alle Daten werden als VectorTiles eingebunden.

Der Link zur Karte ist folgender: https://geodaten-guerilla.net/beta/

#introduction
(A new account for teaching/research stuff).
I teach wildlife and GIS courses at a field campus (State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in the Adirondack Park.
Most of my research focuses on bat conservation, bioacoustics, occupancy modeling, spatial analyses...but also involved in collaborative projects with trail cameras, bird research, etc.
Love to connect with other BIPOC in science.

I have a question about mapping tools that can help with local activism/organizing/campaigns.

I am currently using Google Maps to plot individuals at various addresses. (Easy to import data to the map, I can share this with others, etc.)

But there is a problem. If there are multiple individuals with the same address, Google Maps only puts one pin at a given address...and no additional symbology/color to show you that more than one pin is plotted...even if you hover over it or click on it...only the top pin is shown.

What other mapping tools (that I can easily share with others) can properly display multiple pins at a given address?

(This question also opens the door to other features...can field operatives make updates in real time and share to a central data source/server?...and more and more.)

As always, for grass-roots stuff...free is best, lowest cost is next best.

Feel free to boost.

Thanks in advance!

Our open course on #cartography and #GIS was successfully run for the second year. Kamyar reflects back on this year's course and the course principles: how we focus not (only) on building technical capabilities, but on maps as means of visual storytelling, while not forgetting ethics and emerging trends of cartography. We were lucky to have many brilliant guest lectures this year who brought both practitioner and academic perspectives & map stories.

ArcGIS “Home Use” just lost a bunch of important features.

Not only is Geostatistical Analyst gone, but so are Spatial Analyst, Network Analyst, 3D Analyst, and Suitability Modeler. The whole toolbox got nuked.

I’m an epidemiology graduate researcher who needs tools like Empirical Bayesian Kriging (EBK) for spatial epidemiology work. QGIS still can’t do EBK, so that's a non-starter. When my student license expires I’ll have to cough up ≈ US $600 / yr to get what I need to keep doing public health mapping.

Sure, I can script EBK in R with spBayes, but Arc Pro’s wizard auto tunes the priors and finishes in minutes, not hours.

Esri, please stop pricing early career researchers out of the tools we depend on.

Was on a great hike this morning and I was happy to stumble upon a survey monument. Makes my #GIS heart happy.

I am working on an online map with MapLibre. The basemap contains 3D buildings. However, these are transparent. You can see other layers through the buildings. Perhaps this can be seen in the screenshot.
The basemap is from basemap.de / @BKG.
Website, including code (German): https://basemap.de/produkte-und-dienste/3d/
Style JSON: https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/gdz_basemapde_vektor/styles/bm_web_col.json

Is there a way to remove the transparency?

Fair play to #foss4guk 2025: I will be giving a presentation called "Remote Sensing Sucks". I have my opinions, but what gets you worked up about modern EO and RS? It could be anything at all. Let me know and I might reference it in the slides :-) #earthobservation #geospatial #gis #rssucks

Interested in a postdoc in environmental #GIS in Germany? Check out this job offer from @LeibnizIGB: https://karriere-igb.softgarden.io/job/58133497/GIS-Scientist-Aquatic-lightscapes-and-CDOM-fluxes-m-f-x-?jobDbPVId=236652802&l=en

The job does not necessarily require German language ability (although it is desirable).

New R package: rgeomorphon by Andrew Brown

Playing with a parchment paper texture on a #MapLibreGL #GIS map.

Nothing too fancy here, a texture + some CSS blending. Which means the texture doesn't follow the contours of the map, but the 2d-ness of the paper texture kinda gives it an artsy vibe. #WIP

Hello coders, #GIS and data/network analysts who are also fans of #gratefuldead OR #phish nerdery! I am looking for people to assist with multiple projects on Jerrybase and one on Phish.net.

- One Jerrybase project requires a GIS background, building time-space type models

- A related Jerrybase project needs a social network graph analyst.

- the Phish project involves pulling data via their API for specific queries and possibly helping refine the results

- Other projects are possible!

Is there anyone currently working on archiving ArcGIS data from stuff like Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (https://hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/) that's due to go behind "secure" walls after Sept. 30, 2025?
