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

    He knows just as well as we all do that there is no “they”.

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

    I wouldn’t call it “polluting the dataset” but rather “the point”. If we don’t make the state aware these roads are used, they will certainly use that as a basis for closing them.

    Oriental Rd

    Thanks @Teegate. Interesting. On both ends, the posted signs are actually on the gates (as opposed to the actual private property on either side of the "road") That is what had me second guessing if it was actually a public road or not. I know someone that lived in that house that burned...

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

    Agreed. And if there is a better, suscinct, way to articulate this, we'd be happy to adopt it. I think, the technically correct descritption at the time would be that: "we support the newest USGS topo quadrangle that is closest to, but not newer than 1997 when the USGS changed their approach...

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

    We set up that way back when, but it never took off and then a bunch a spammers got a hold of it. :-) I just pulled it off our main menu because it is not really value added and is a distraction. Frankly, a lot of the "forum" related traffic on OTNJ occurs right here. There are quite...

    Oriental Rd

    I’ve always wondered about this and I’m quite certain someone here will know the answer. :-) As far as I can tell from maps, it appears that Oriental Rd in Tabernacle should be open all the way to Carranza. But if you’ve been there, you’ll know it is blocked on both ends and marked as private...

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

    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...

    Our view: Promising new DEP steps on pinelands use, protection

    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...

    Amatol Raceway and Ammunitions Village/Factory Remains, Hammonton, NJ

    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 :)

    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...
