I finally manage to watch @paleolimbot presentation at @RConsortium on "scaling the #Rspatial ecosystem" !

youtube.com/watch?v=tjNEoIYr_a

Quick subjective key points:

- Use the database Luke and learn a bit SQL (I was already converted)

- the diversity of R packages to do some workflows also represent the diversity of standards (s.f.) and steps to reach similar results

- wkt_filter seems very nice (I was using "query" and GDAL/SQL instead)

#NOAA Released the "beta" version of the Modernized National Spatial Reference System

beta.ngs.noaa.gov/

It will become the official CRS in the US, probably next year.
Everything is new: geographic system, vertical system, geoid model, state planes,... and to make it funnier, the geographic coordinates move between 1 and 2 meters respect to nad83 🫣

If you want to play with it in PROJ, look at github.com/jjimenezshaw/NSRS-2

Helping out a local city.

City: "Our permits system vendor needs the data a certain way so that a permit point can grab related data from other layers."
Me: "Makes sense, whatever we have to do."
Vendor: "I need these specific layers in the same published service URL, they can't be separate."
Me: "I don't think that's true, but whatever, we can do that. Here you go."
Vendor: "Did we say that? We meant the important information has to be in a single points layer with lots of columns."

Continued thread

I need two kinds of tools. First, to make a rendering of roads and crudely drawn buildings around. That's for demonstrating how to rebuild a street to add cycle lanes and wider sidewalks. And trees. Nothing too flashy, but should be understandable and fly-able over in a video. Like the first picture.

Second, I have a photo, and want to add greenery, cycle lanes, walkways, remove cars maybe, though not important. Create before-and-after shots, like the second picture. #gischat

Earlier this month, #TomPatterson released a free (public domain) print-quality physical map of maritime Southeast Asia. It could actually almost double as a map of SEA except the northern part of Myanmar is cut off. 🗺️

A couple comments about the #Philippines 🇵🇭 portion: Mayon should’ve been included in the peaks and the choice of spelling is unusual (e.g., “Pulog” instead of “Pulag”). But the map is excellent otherwise.
