    Facebook, Threads and Instagram are down

    I know some people here can't seem to get enough of them. But it would suit me fine if they all went away forever. Gave up on YouTube several years ago. I check into facebook briefly about once a week, just to see what friends in other parts of the world are up to. Completely quit Instagram...

    Facebook, Threads and Instagram are down

    Am reading that Facebook may be back up, but now there are reports of YouTube having problems... The root cause of these widespread outages remains unclear. Sometimes, several platforms go down at the same time if they’re using the same cloud computing services, like AWS. But AWS is not...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    It's been getting really wet around here with the recent rains, we had almost 3 inches over the weekend and getting some more today. Looks like there's a lot more on the way... is it time to start the "Wet Forest" thread yet? Be careful out there, the major roads in Peaslee that are normally...

    Facebook, Threads and Instagram are down

    Surprising that it's possible for all of these to be down at the same time... Meta’s social media platforms Instagram, Facebook and Threads are down for many users across the globe Tuesday morning. Facebook and Threads seem to be particularly impacted. Neither app was loading as of 10 a.m. ET...

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    Have just updated the help file for the desktop version to bring it up to date with these new features. Will try to get an updated version of the mobile help file online tomorrow. And - in case you weren't already confused - I have re-named the 3d maps so the names correspond to the 2d...

    Airplane in the woods

    This? https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.88357915350862&lng=-74.78031288999983&z=19&type=hybrid&gpx= Pretty sure that isn't in the woods. Just a plane flying by when the imagery was captured, there are many examples that we have enjoyed finding over the years. :)...

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    I *think* this bug hs been squashed, but will do some further testing to be sure. Let me know if you have any problems.

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    Update is now online. Had to delete the app from my home screen on my iPhone and iPad to get it to work, otherwise it opened up to a screen of garbage. :ninja: Seeing one problem with the new mobile feature where the pointer drops lower when using the GPS in 3d view. When you turn off the GPS...

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    Finishing this up right now. Need to tweak the code a bit, do some more testing, but will probaby be putting the new version online later today. This could cause cache issues, so "heads up". Clearing your browser cache should fix these issues, here's an article with instructions for doing this...

    Have asked him about a couple things but not gotten an answer. Will ping him again.

    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    I had a look at the options and am rather lost because I haven't worked with styles on Xenforo sites before. I checked the colors in your screenshot, but don't even see them defined in the current site style. So this is gonna be a question for Ben (would be anyway, since it's about the design of...

    Inventory of Active and Abandoned Sand and Gravel Mining Operations in NJ

    Cool! :cool: This is the dataset I use on my maps (in addition to others that I took directly from old topo maps) https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/db9be6bd7db64b2f8be544c26779620d_3/about I have attached a PDF file that's included in that download which might be of interest

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    Yeah, it should all be handled automatically in the near future. Was already finishing up a big update and one feature is a 2d/3d preference. That will default to 2d, so you won't normally see the 3d maps - but they'll be accessible by just clicking the compass and switching to 3d mode. And if...

    Controlled burns 2024

    Thought I'd start a new thread for controlled burning this season since there doesn't seem to already be one... Around 7:30 this morning here in Peaslee. Must have lit it yesterday because there was nobody around. They have been burning that whole area between Main and Taylor Avenues for almost...

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    Ugh, it's gonna be harder to get away from proprietary maps than I thought. I removed all mapbox data from boydsmaps and am only using their API to display the 3d maps that I host myself. Turns out, everytime somebody loads one of these maps, it creates a billable event just because the Mapbox...

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Yeah, I'm sure he just missed it when he downloaded the maps and created the web page. The source for these maps is here and this is number 85.

    Old Sandstone Mine on the 1870 Vermeule Topo Map

    Meant to comment on this earlier... Digital mapping has evolved into something that nobody could have imagined back in 1985, let alone 1885. These maps were intended to be looked at individually, not stitched together into a seamless map on a computer screen. I arbitrarily chose the dates shown...

    Be careful out there...

    Seriously, why would you want to revive this necro thread?
