    boydsmaps on a phone without cell service

    This was just a quick test, not very impressive, but I have the Kobbe map running completely offline on my Android test phone - no internet connection or cell service needed. I used the Kobbe map for this test because it's the smallest one, but it should work with any map. This is just a simple...

    iPhone 16 ProMax might have a 300mm optical telephoto lens

    "The label of 'super' or 'ultra' telephoto is usually afforded to cameras with a focal length over 300mm, drastically magnifying and pulling in distant subjects. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models' telephoto camera has a focal length of equivalent to 77mm..." Wow. If true, that would be...

These may appear as "spikey things" (see image below)...

    Introducing the new 3d Terrain Viewer

    The new app is now online. Kind of a difficult birth, there are many complex things happening at the same time in this app that depend on each other. While everything worked fine on my development server, everything was much slower running live on the internet. This caused lots of errors, with...

    Quite a hill

    Not much of a "trip", but this seems like the best place to post it... Driving down Hunters Mill Rd near Halberton recently, I noticed what looked like a sheer "cliff" barely visible through the heavy tree cover on the North side of the road. I figured it was just more of the spoils from nearby...

    GM is phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    With many automakers increasing support, this is rather surprising IMO. Good luck with that, as you can see from the comments, it's not being received very well but that's what I'd expect from a site like MacRumors. I didn't like the wired carplay on my old car, but the new one has wireless...

    Introducing Boyds Map of the Pines XT

    The paint is literally still wet on the new site, but it's up, running and appears to work. My definition of "map" here includes not only the visual elements, but data on two million features that's updated in realtime - "XT" stands for "eXTreme". Hopefully it will be intuitive, just zoom, drag...

    DPReview is shutting down

    Been awhile since I visited since I'm not in the market, but this was always one of the best sites for information on digital cameras. No more; they are closing down in a few weeks and then completely going away soon after. https://www.dpreview.com/news/5901145460/dpreview-com-to-close

    Precipitation totals

    Just processed six years of precipitation data (all the historical data they have) from the NWS to use on my new Pines site. It will update continuously as you move around the map, like the other data. Made this map of totals, just for fun. They're cumulative, so you'd need to divide by 6 to...

    Retta Heights, Longwood Gardens and Del Bay Estates

    Never heard of them? Neither had I, although I've been curious about these failed developments for awhile. But I didn't know the names until I started working on this new parcel data. They're all areas with lots of little parcels that are checkerboards of public and private ownership. Anyone...
