Super that @organicmaps can now be set as default app for navigation! However, when selecting addresses in Apple Calendar, the message still appears that no default app is installed (or Apple Maps still opens if it is still installed on the iPhone). #ios #maps #navigation

In 1862, if you were introducing the geographical world to young people, you'd probably mention the explorers of the previous century that had been popularized, but not many would think to discuss the recent addition of the submarine cable that would connect the continents, and begin a new era.
Many note that cable as the infrastructure precursor to things like international calling and the internet.

Hi Everyone: Just a reminder that the deadline for proposals for the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF CARTOGRAPHY in Prague-Brno in July 2026 is rapidly approaching. It is 14 November! Please get your proposals in!!!!

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

Edit: Google Maps has a photo! Added here… of the four cornered boundary monument!

A picture from Google Maps showing a silver metal obelisk style monument with the names of the provinces. In the background there appears to be a fire watch tower made from irregular local wood poles
How much more zoomed in look shows the considerable lakes in the area immediately adjacent to the four corners. The lines don’t perfectly match up, but I suspect that has more to do with the projection and the physical location as intended.
Reasonably zoomed out map view of a point on the map at 60° north and 102° west. It shows the location of the four corners in North Central Canada.

Mais pour les gens de Mastodon, un MP et ce serait bien moins cher 😄.
