Easy to use maps, documentation, code samples, and developer tools for web & mobile.
Our favorite, most-read or most distinct work since 2014.
Five years ago today, The New York Times introduced The Upshot with the aim of examining politics, policy and everyday life in new ways. We wanted to experiment with formats, using whatever mix of text, data visualizations, images and interactive features seemed best for the subject at hand.
why does this particular conversion seem to present so many problems?
I think there are three main reasons:
1. The sort of people that visualise data on Google Maps / Bing Maps are (typically) not GIS professionals. This comment is not in anyway meant to belittle the quality of their data or output. However, the fact is that most GIS professionals still use the commercial (expensive) ESRI ArcGIS product set, and free tools such as Google / Bing are always more likely to attract casual spatial developers. As such, these developers are less likely to know (or want to know) about things like datums, coordinate systems, projections – they just want a map that works.
2. The EPSG code assigned to the projection has changed several times and much of the information displayed on the internet, as well as used in spatial applications themselves, is out-of-date. You’ll see references to EPSG 900913, 3857, 3785, 3587, and various different definitions of each of those systems.
3. The actual projection used by Microsoft / Google itself is (a bit of) a hack, which can lead to misalignment issues when your code actually does the projection the “correct” way. For example, it is common to find issues raised across a number of tools that conversion between WGS84 and Bing / Google Maps leads to Y values that are “out” by about 20km – see the Proj.NET issues here, here, here, here, and here, the ArcGIS API for Silverlight issue here, or the issue for the Proj.4 library reported here, for example.
Coordinate systems are defined using a set of parameters, including the type of projection used (Mercator, Albers etc.), coordinate offset (False Easting, False Northing), the unit of measurement (Metre, Foot etc.), the underlying datum (WGS84, NAD27 etc.) and many more.
Because it’s quite a pain to have to keep quoting this complete set of parameters, every system is commonly referred to by a unique integer code (also called it’s SRID) instead. The set of SRIDs assigned to spatial reference systems in mainstream usage was originally set up by the European Petroleum Survey Group, and they are generally referred to as EPSG codes.

This tutorial material consists of 21 modules of 15 to 45 minutes, for 2 full days in total. It covers some of the technical / practical aspects of controversy mapping with digital methods. As such, it is designed to complement teaching on the controversy mapping course.
Goal: learn how to harvest and explore data, formulate insights, and build relatable visualizations.
Data: we will mostly use Wikipedia data to keep things relatively simple, but the techniques generalize to other media platforms and datasets.
Tools: we will mostly use Tableau, Gephi, and Jupyter Notebooks. No experience required.
Este documento resume las presentaciones de las Jornadas Técnicas sobre el Concurso del Bosque Metropolitano de Madrid. El bosque se propone como una infraestructura verde que mejorará la salud ambiental y social de la ciudad. Los expertos en diferentes disciplinas discutieron cómo diseñar el bosque para fomentar la biodiversidad, conectar espacios verdes, y apoyar prácticas agrícolas y culturales sostenibles que unan la ciudad con el campo.
Se puede definir a la pendiente como la inclinación de un plano o de una superficie sobre un plano o superficie horizontal.
Esta pendiente se puede expresar o bien en tanto por ciento (%), por ejemplo, una pendiente del 15 %, o bien en grados (º) a través del ángulo de inclinación de la pendiente.
Para calcular la pendiente de una rampa, de un terreno o de una cubierta necesitamos conocer dos datos: la distancia de la pendiente y la altura de la pendiente.
Conocidos estos dos datos, habría que aplicar la siguiente formula para calcular la pendiente en tanto por ciento:
Pendiente (%) = (altura / distancia) x 100
Si lo que necesitamos saber es el ángulo de la pendiente, tenemos que tirar de la función arcotangente (arctg) que es la inversa de la tangente de un ángulo, por lo que habría que aplicar la siguiente formula:
Pendiente (º) = arctg (altura/distancia)
Le nivellement général de la France (NGF) constitue un réseau de repères altimétriques disséminés sur le territoire français métropolitain continental, ainsi qu’en Corse, dont l’IGN a aujourd’hui la charge. Ce réseau est actuellement le réseau de nivellement officiel en France métropolitaine.
In QGIS version 3, there are built-in features to use raster and vector data from OpenStreetMap. There is no built-in possibility to upload changes back to a OpenStreetMap server directly from QGIS. For this purpose, please use one of the Editors.

Commutometer uses data openly shared by public transport agencies. If your bus is missing, your agency might not be sharing its data.
The Walkability Index is a tool that allows existing places to be benchmarked and new proposals to be objectively tested in terms of whether they deliver car-dependence, with its associated problems – or walkability, with the social, economic and environmental benefits found in walkable places.
The location of everyday land uses – shops, offices, schools and healthcare facilities – has important effects on our movement choices: whether we reach them by walking or cycling, catching a bus or going by private car.
Sometimes there is no choice: low density, monofunctional housing estates create car dependence. This is not only harmful for the environment but damaging to our mental and physical health. Car-dependency influences obesity and loneliness. In contrast, walkable places are healthy and sociable places.

Como explica en su entrada Daniskarma, el QGIS tiene un complemento llamado Spanish Inspire Catastral Downloader que le permite elegir una provincia y descargar automáticamente los datos, dibujando mapas que nos ayudan en el conocimiento de su análisis y diaganóstico antes de comenzar a intervenir en ellas.
El mapa estaba realizado con datos del catastro que llevan asociados el año de construcción o última reforma. Se presenta un radio de 2,5 km desde el centro de la ciudad. La estética resultante es la de unas vidrieras de estilo rosetón, gracias a su forma circular y su vibrante colorido.

I usually handle GIS data in GIS software off course. In this blog post, I’d like to try visualize GIS data with p5.js!
The EJAtlas is a work in progress. Newly documented cases and information are continuously added to the platform. However, many are still undocumented and new ones arise. Please note that the absence of data does not indicate the absence of conflict.
The whole point being made was that we all have been taught geography mainly based on the Mercator projection – as the background in daily television news, the cover of my school atlas, in general the ubiquitous depiction of the planet.
But the basic fact is that a three-dimensional sphere being shown as a single two-dimensional flat image will always be subject to a conversion loss: something has to give…
The reason why Mercator was such an important advance is simple: on it one can draw straight lines to account for travel routes – in the days of the gigantic merchant fleets and naval battles an immensely valuable attribute.
Este material se concibe como una guía con pasos básicos para llevar adelante un proceso de mapeo junto a las y los estudiantes y a partir de algunas ideas y recomendaciones que puedan ser retomadas, ampliadas y mejoradas a partir de la experiencia, y de las temáticas y situaciones que se vayan dando en cada uno de los espacios educativos.
We are allowed to map certain facts from reference imagery in news articles etc.. -though this technically depends on where you are from-. You have to
be fairly certain of the position of each object. They can be a few meters off, but you shouldn’t haphazardly map them.
select sources which are reliable and mention them in your changeset sources or alternatively using the source and source:date tags.
make sure you’re using the right imagery and (if any) offset. This can be adjusted in the editor’s layer menu (in iD, this is located in the right sidebar).
be careful if/when touching existing objects. (You may want to contact the local community, if there is one, to discuss whether they want to map the event to begin with); This may change/remove objects on the map 1) ways which are used for routing 2) areas, such as buildings, or POIs which may be of interest for humanitarian aid.
You will have to use the proper Lifecycle tags (in combination with area=yes where needed).
be sure you know how to map with multipolygons where needed.
as always, look on the wiki for tags and ask the community if you need help mapping.

OpenStreetMap offers many possibilities for creating high resolution paper maps. Unlike commercial map services such as Mapquest and Google Maps, there are only a few restrictions on what you can do with OSM images.
This page explains how to get existing OSM data from the web and how to convert it to an SVG image via Osmarender.
Osmarender isn’t a usual application. Instead, it’s a set of files which let you perform an XSL transformation.
GUI written in Python to parse OSM (OpenStreetMap) files and render them onscreen. Layers may be toggled on/off and drawing may be customized.
This program allows a user to render OSM files within the GUI. The GUI enables the user to easily modify which layers are visible and the style of these layers.
The program exports maps as images.
a process by which you can generate your own custom-made stylized maps. A stylized map is a map where the user can specify which data layers are visualized, as well as define the style with which each layer is visualized. I will first describe the process through which you can write software to stylize maps, followed by an example of the Python software I wrote to perform this task.
The region is specified by a bounding box, which consists of a minimum and maximum latitude and longitude. Choose as small a region as will be useful to you, since larger regions will result in larger data files, longer download times, and heavier load on the server. The server may reject your region if it is larger than 1/4 degree in either dimension. When you’re first starting out, choose a very small region so that you can figure things out quickly with small data sets.
There are several ways of finding latitude and longitude values. Since we are interested in a bounding box, perhaps the clearest way is to use the bounding box selection features of the ‘export data’ link. On the homepage map pan and zoom to roughly the right area, and then click the ‘export data’ (link on the left). This sidebar display includes the four values you need for a bounding box matching the extents of the viewport. Click ‘Manually select a different area’ and then drag a box to select exactly the region you want.
You must now construct an API request URL as specified in the map request docs. In the URL, a bounding box is expressed as four comma-separated numbers, in this order: left, bottom, right, top (min long, min lat, max long, max lat). Latitude and longitude are expressed in decimal degrees. North latitude is positive, south latitude is negative. West longitude is negative, east longitude is positive. The method described in the previous section will give you suitable values.
Example:
https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=11.54,48.14,11.543,48.145
The API is limited to bounding boxes of about 0.5 degree by 0.5 degree and you should avoid using it if possible. For larger areas you might try to use XAPI, for example:
http://overpass.openstreetmap.ru/cgi/xapi_meta?*[bbox=11.5,48.1,11.6,48.2]
Refer to the XAPI page for details of other servers available.
You can just type this URL into a browser if you want, but that may not work as well as you’d hope, especially if the data is large. If you know how to use them, command-line tools like wget and curl will do a better job.
If you’ve specified a region with a lot of data, you may have to wait a while before the HTTP response begins (the server is crunching your request). If your client times out, try setting options for a longer timeout, or choose a smaller region.
Here’s an example command line for wget:
wget -O muenchen.osm "https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=11.54,48.14,11.543,48.145"
It supports loading GPX tracks, background imagery, and OSM data from local sources as well as from online sources and allows to edit the OSM data (nodes, ways, and relations) and their metadata tags.

A lo largo del año 2004 un equipo colaborativo desarrolló el proyecto titulado “Una cartografía del territorio geopolítico del Estrecho de Gibraltar”. El producto visible de esta colaboración fueron dos mapas en papel (cara a y b) que presentaban lecturas alternativas de este territorio singular. El proyecto surgió de la red Indymedia Estrecho y vinculado a Fadaiat 2004, un encuentro de artistas, activistas y tecnólogos entre las dos orillas del Estrecho. Se trataba de presentar la visión desde la perspectiva de estas redes de este espacio geográfico como lugar de conflictos sociopolíticos, y también de presentar su propio trabajo como proyecto de transformación de este territorio. Las tres líneas principales de investigación-acción de Indymedia Estrecho se reflejaban en la cartografía: 1/ migraciones y frontera; 2/ nueva composición del trabajo, precarización; y 3/ comunicación independiente y conocimiento libre. En la cara a de la cartografía se mapeaban como flujos que atravesaban la frontera los procesos que venían ocurriendo en el Estrecho: militarización, migraciones, deslocalización del capital, comunicación y movimientos sociales. En la cara b se presentaban las redes de movimientos sociales activas a ambos lados de la frontera, así como sus proyectos políticos a corto y medio plazo – con lo que el mapa se convertía además en una herramienta de organización.
Hace poco hice un mapa de las desigualdades vía el uso de coropletas. Pero estos tipos de mapas suelen distorsionar la relación entre la verdadera geografía subyacente y la variable representada.
Se debe a que las divisiones administrativas no suelen coincidir con la realidad geográfica. Además, grandes areas aparentan tener un peso que no tienen. Para reflejar mejor la realidad se hace uso de distribuciones más realista de la población como puede ser el uso de suelo.
Con técnicas de Sistemas de Información Geográfica es posible redistribuir la variable de interés en función de una variable más realista a menor unidad espacial. En este caso usé el uso de suelo urbano con 100 m de resolución.
