I think the most important thing we can do right now is to get as many people as possible involved in the stakeholder process. We may feel it will be difficult to influence the process, however, if we don’t get involved in this stakholder process than it will be impossible to influence it...

Oops, I missed that. Fixed.

Open Trails last met with the DEP in April of 2021. We were told at that time that things like "a map" (not the MAP, meaning one that closes roads) and the permit were under consideration, but the stakeholders would be consulted before the DEP moved forward. Since then, the people we worked...

Ok, so after going on this journey for several weeks, I think I've learned a lot about these tools and my summary is: the right choice for you will depend very much on your requirements. I've decided to give ArcGIS a whirl for a year. For my specific needs, which includes some heavier GIS...

That might be a slightly unfair characterization of the situation. ;) I would say I am taking the caution your raised pretty seriously, tried to understand the details of the license, provided my thoughts based on how I intend to use it and solicited feedback on my interpretation:) I...

I went way further down a rabbit hole than I intended, considering I still don't intend to ever use this software for commercial use, but here I am. . The link that you shared was definitely concerning and so that is what caused me to head down this rabbit hole. First off, so far as I can tell...

I did wind up clicking through, and there were no promises of celebrity nudes or free money, just….pictures of Amatol. So if it is some sort of honeypot, they used the worst possible bait. LOL :)

Here are a handful: https://www.3widespicturevault.com/FRONT%20PAGE%20STUFF/Amatol_Speedway_Memories__copy%281%29.htm

Lol, ok, than it wasn’t just me. I was trying to keep an open mind and the way people seem to rave about it, I thought maybe it was just me. It reminded me of when I gave GIMP a try. (FOSS version of Photoshop). Just overall janky.

@Average Bog Enjoyer - Are you also familiar with ArcGIS? I'm really trying hard to do an unbiased comparison. I've now started comparing what I learned with ArcGIS to QGIS. What I've found so far is that it seems (to me) that ArcGIS is a little more turnkey and polished. For example, ArcGIS...

You rock! Exactly what I was looking for! For this use, just filtered on "TYPE = "WATER" but I see there are all kinds of other cool feature classes in there as well!

So I’ve been playing around with ArcGIS and I’ll admit, I like it a lot! Now, that being said, it is a proffessional, paid program so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that it is very capable. I’ve been keeping a pros/cons list of what I’m finding with each of the apps and when it gets a little...

Thank you for the detailed reply! I had a feeling you might weigh in. :-) I dinked around with Mapbox for a bit but it didn’t really seem to be a good fit, since I’m not building an amazing app like you did. ;-). I will read your post on the 3D capabilities. That is what got me looking at...

Thanks Bob! I’ll add QGIS to my list!

I’m a techie and enjoy exploring the pines. I have historically used Google Earth Pro to look at areas I want to explore, create routes or points of interest, import various maps or overlays etc. When I go out exploring, I record a track using GaiaGPS on my phone and then import the results...

I suspect that Guy was being sarcastic ;) (I.e. we aren't the stakeholders that are being consulted)

RE: Open Trails/enduro group involvement in the article, Tom Hedden, who is quoted in the article, is an officer of the ECEA and is also a member of OTNJ. Tom pushed to allow me to join a call with the author of the article, but unfortunately it was scheduled during the work day and I had an...

It appears that they have learned some lessons from 2015. If they start with the 97 Topo map, that is not bad, but the question is where do they go from there? What will the process be to make changes? Who will be controlling how that map changes? All details that need to be worked out...

I have the exact same machine! :-) We all have similar tastes I guess.

Do you mean would a 32 be better than my old dual screen set up? If that is what you are asking, I say absolutely. I really enjoy having one continuous screen where I can configure multiple windows at all different sizes, depending on what I'm doing. One other piece of info I'll add: Since...
