    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    I still say that!... just came up in a Google search. :D Was actually surprised, because I thought X wouldn't allow you to even view content without being a member. The same thing was also posted on other (sketchy?) sites, but they were all quoting the Twitter post.

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    Just stumbled across this while looking for something else. This is my nightmare scenario... guy starts a website using Mapbox, site goes viral and he receives a $11,000 bill for his use of the API. :eek: I mean, it's a long shot, sure, but not inconceivable. There could be some kind of...

    Hiking Trails, Wheelchairs, Bicycles and the ADA

    I was on a jury in federal court many years ago and we had to decide whether somebody's rights were violated by an organization failing to make an accomodation for their disability (we determined that they were not). Complex case that really has no bearing here, but the point is that the laws...

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    FWIW, I'd say that high-resolution LIDAR data was only available for (perhaps) 70% of the new section of the map. So you'll find some areas that only have the low resolution (10-meter) legacy 1/3 arc-second DEM. Nothing I could do about that, unfortunately. We're kind of spoiled here in NJ...

    LIDAR coverage expansion in progress

    Just now finished uploading the new Northeast US LIDAR map (2d version). Here's Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island Maine, for example. Note the name change, it's no longer called "Mid Atlantic LIDAR", the new name is "Northeast US LIDAR". But I've only changed the name on the menu, the...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    There was a flood warning in effect yesterday for parts of Atlantic County. Initially I found that strange since there was no rain, but when I read the whole thing, it said that some rivers/creeks were still above flood level as a result of all the rain last weekend. The warning I saw was for...

    Fries Mill

    FWIW, I have shown the historical location of Baileytown structures that I could determine on my 2020 and 2023 topo. For the 2023 map, I used the standard USGS convention of just showing an outline of buildings that no longer exist...

    Odd Rumbling Sounds

    FWIW, NJGIN has a dataset of earthquake epicenters https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/b48a228187b2448cb54d9398d8cf8a01_2/explore I included these on both my 2020 and 2023 topo's but you have to zoom all the way in to see them. For example...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    This is interesting, if I pick a spot around Quaker Bridge on the map, this is the forecast I get on the National Weather Service website. It shows potential for as much as four inches of rain. Around the same spot in my app, I click the button with the sun icon and get this forecast. It also...

    "This year will start off much earlier than most years in the East," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said. "We could look at things to be a full month ahead of normal with tree pollen and still ahead with when grass pollen starts." AccuWeather experts warn that it could be a bad...

    Moon today?

    Yes, it was Jupiter! https://www.space.com/jupiter-moon-earthshine-march-2024 Another shot, not very good but it shows Jupiter. The earth-shine was clearly visible on the moon out in the dark too, resolution of the handheld phone camera is kind of low to show that clearly though. Too bad I...
