"A sensory #mapping of a #strolling on foot"

I seek to transcribe my stroll on foot, guided by #birdsong and children’s calls.

I walked until I was captivated by groups of #birds, lingering especially where several species coexisted.

I deliberately lost myself in the #city tangled streets, curious to see if I could concentrate amid the hustle and bustle.

From 1862, this was a comparative chart that provides you with the best of what was known for the major rivers and mountains of the world.
Great visualization let's you wander and discover, this does the job well

Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

I am still planning a replacement for my Google MyMaps map of German folk tales, one based on #OpenStreetMap .

Reuirements include:

- I should not be required to host an entire map server.
- I should be able to integrate the maps into #MediaWiki wiki pages via plugins.

Last time I asked this question, I got a couple of good suggestions such as Umap and Leaflet that might fit the bill. However, since then I thought of a further requirement that would be really useful for me:

Filterable tags for markers.

Let me explain: I want to put a bunch of markers on the map, and each refers to a folk tale. And then I want to tag some of them with "dragon", "witch", "treasure" and so forth - and then people should be able to filter them by these tags, so that only those tales that feature "dragons" or whatever on the map.

On the other hand, maybe people want to filter the tales by the book in which they first appeared, such as "Deutsche Sagen" by the Brothers Grimm. However, this means that those tags cannot be mutually exclusive - a tale might either feature a dragon or be from "Deutsche Sagen", it might be both, or neither.

If there is truly no other way of doing this, I might have to do these "filters" as separate maps instead. But I really don't want to do this the hard way unless I absolutely have to. So, can anyone help?

Hey #geo nerds!

I haven’t made a web #map in a while. What’s the current tool for making a super simple web slippy tile map with pins dropped into it? Ideally free (for a low traffic website).

In the past I would have used #Leaflet or #mapbox. #d3 would be overkill for this use case.

Thanks! 🗺️🤓

Perhaps the biggest highlight of today's run up through the Ōtautahi Port Hills was just how many more korimako (NZ bellbirds) there are about now compared with when I started doing this survey.

I just checked and on my July 2017 run, I made 54 korimako observations. Today, on the same route, I made 249(!). That's just the mapped points. Some of today's observations were of about 50 birds singing at once.

Check out the two maps to see the big difference.

Huge credit here goes to the City Council Port Hills rangers and the volunteers of the Summit Road Society. Both groups have been helping the native forest to regenerate and have been controlling the pest mammals that eat the birds. It's working!

A map of my 12 km run route from the edge of the housing in the Cashmere suburb of Christchurch up into the grasslands and forests of the Port Hills (climbing 374 metres). There is a satellite image underlay that shows the land cover. Yellow dots on the map indicate each observation I made of one or more korimako (NZ bellbirds). This map is from my July 2025 run and has 249 yellow points on the map. The natural native forest to the south of the map (the highest part of the run) is now thick with yellow points.
