    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Light rain here for no more than a few minutes. There's some rain in Delaware headed our way right now...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Those are some intense storms, there's a warning that expires at 4:30 for your area. Nothing here yet, but I see a little cell just developed out of nowhere and is heading straight for me!

    Red Lion Dinner

    I don't think we're at the end yet. But I think the beginning of the end was when they got rid of the Marlton Circle and Olga's closed. :)

    Red Lion Dinner

    Too bad. Haven't been there since I moved to Atlantic County in 2006 but went frequently with the family before that and always thought it was one of the better diners.

    Quite a hill

    What?... you don't have a copy of Citizen Kane in your video collection? :D

    Quite a hill

    I just made an auto mount for a new Android tablet and am installing a terabyte of offline maps for testing in the car. Took a drive past Hundred Foot Hill yesterday and the 3d image immediately reminded me of Xanadu in Citizen Kane... "Here, on the deserts of the Gulf Coast, a private mountain...

    That's some kind of artifact, probably the result of the workflow I used when creating that map. That was one of my first 3d maps using the MapBox API and I didn't quite understand a couple of the finer points (you need to figure it all out for yourself, they don't support making you own maps...

    What are these features?

    I think they're all over the place, if you look for them! :) This one is interesting, looking all the way back through the aerials, it just appears to be a wooded area. But on the 1930's aerials, it looks sort of like an old field...

    What are these features?

    I'm seeing it in overgrown areas bordering developments, for example https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.860319/-74.754612/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.860319/-74.754612/pines1995/0.00/0.00 Could this be the result of levelling an area with bulldozers or other heavy...

    What are these features?

    Looking at agricultural areas on the LIDAR is pretty interesting, have not spent much time doing that. But looking quickly now, most of the farmland as well as the "alphabet soup" rye strips shows parallel lines from mowing/cultivation. You can see that here (near the Hammonton airport)...

    What are these features?

    There's something similar near Washington that I always found interesting. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.682946/-74.573294/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 I wondered if it might have been caused by years of mowing/harvesting/tilling the soil but really don't know.

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    Just a final thought... once I get the new software nearly finished (might be awhile), I'll probably give the original rugged phones to a few people for beta testing. If you're interested, we can discuss this when the time comes - you might get one on extended loan in exchange for providing...

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    Sorry, it's just not going to be compatible with the iPhone. The mapserver needs to run in the background while using the app and that (apparently) is not possible on iOS. There could be other solutions in the future (like writing a custom app) but that gets complicated. On Android, it would be...

    Should also add that the tablet would need a compatible SD card slot. According to this, only the 5th generation or newer tablets have card slots. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GMRDCX9BUV3L7TKA

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    My understanding is that they run a customized version of Android. Your version would depends on which Kindle Fire you have, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_OS According to that link, the oldest version of FireOS is based on Android 5. I am able to run the app on my old Samsung Galaxy...

    Thanks! But these aren't anything new, they're just the same 2012 aerials you can already access from NJGIN. I'm downloading the full-resolution (1 foot/pixel) map tiles to use with my offline maps. Not sure of the size yet, but I think it will be around 5 million tiles and 200gb. This makes it...

    More smoke in the pines

    Apparently, there won't be any smokes.... “You take pre-packaged oil and mix it together with some other material to make a balm” Dikovics said. “It doesn’t require creation of new plants.”

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    It's working, but loading very slowly this morning. I have been downloading aerials from NJGIN all week and it's been rather slow, but still workable. This morning, I left the download running for about 4 hours while I was doing errands. There were over 2,000 unrecoverable errors when I...
