    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...

    Wow. But - not to worry - you can keep drinking the water until a minute before midnight! :clint: "Philadelphia officials are monitoring the city’s drinking water system carefully following a chemical spill upstream in the Delaware River, saying the water would be safe to drink until at least...

    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...

    Verizon FIOS Outage

    No internet here since around noon, checking my account on Verizon's website confirms the outage and was showing an estimated repair time of 8:00 AM tomorrow (Friday). Actually had a very productive day writing code and processing parcel data without the usual online distractions. :D Using my...

    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...

    Oil in the Pines

    I know this topic has come up before but can't find the thread. Anyway, while looking for something else I found this NJDEP dataset that shows the location of oil and gas wells drilled in New Jersey. Information on each well is pretty sparse, but there are some interesting locations (shown with...

    Live NEXRAD radar

    I mentioned this awhile ago in another thread but following today's update, I think it's ready for its own thread. This is a very simple little app that displays the current National Weather Service radar for the continental United States. Unlike the radar map in the main boydsmaps app, this...

    USGS 2023 Digital Topo

    Here's a new companion to the Legacy 24k and Historic 62k maps - the USGS 2023 Digital Topo. But it's actually just a local copy of the new USGS Topo that is available directly from USGS servers. However, this new map should load much faster since it's locally hosted on the boydsmaps server. I...

    135 dogs and 45 cats removed from home in Brick Twp

    Brick Township police said officers entered the home Friday night and found stacks of animal crates containing dogs and cats, but because of the conditions “the officers were forced to exit and requested that a hazmat team respond.” Two arrests were made, officials said...

    Double your fun with map sync!

    It's two.... two... two maps in one! :dance: Ever wished you could see two maps at the same time? This little web app will have you seeing double! It's is an idea I've been thinking about for awhile, so I threw together a beta version. Choose a map from each menu and they will move in sync. The...

    Fixed a bug in the new USGS topo's

    This is a little problem that's annoyed me for awhile, route numbers in highway shields didn't display correctly and a few other things looked bad. I thought it was a screw-up on their part, but just realized it was caused by the way I (mis)configured the map on my site. Looks much better now...
