GeoDatenGuerilla

Im Dezember 2024 erschien ein Blogpost mit dem Titel "Straßenraumaufteilung in einer Online-Karte": geodaten-guerilla.net/blog/str
In diesem wurde beschrieben, wie sich eine Online-Karte erstellen lässt, in der die Aufteilung von Straßenräumen in der Stadt Kiel zu sehen ist. Zusätzlich lässt sich in dieser Karte die Stadt in "3D" erkunden.

Diese Karte hat sich nun weiterentwickelt (siehe Screenshot). Es sind 3D-Gebäudemodelle in LOD2-Qualität eingebunden. Das bedeutet zusätzlich Dächer, statt nur graue Blöcke als Gebäude.
Es sind Bäume eingebunden, die aus einem WFS der Stadt Kiel stammen und die Karte sehr viel lebendiger und wirklichkeitsnäher wirken lassen. Die Daten sind übrigens OpenData.
Link zum WFS (Lizenz CC-BY-4.0): ims.kiel.de/geodatenextern/ser
Die einzelnen Flächen der Straßen lassen sich nun anklicken. Dabei erfährt mensch, um was für einen Typ, bspw. Fahrbahn, Radweg, Parkplatz, es sich handelt.

Die Online-Karte wurde mit MapLibre erstellt und alle Daten werden als VectorTiles eingebunden.

Der Link zur Karte ist folgender: geodaten-guerilla.net/beta/

#introduction
(A new account for teaching/research stuff).
I teach wildlife and GIS courses at a field campus (State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in the Adirondack Park.
Most of my research focuses on bat conservation, bioacoustics, occupancy modeling, spatial analyses...but also involved in collaborative projects with trail cameras, bird research, etc.
Love to connect with other BIPOC in science.

Our open course on #cartography and #GIS was successfully run for the second year. Kamyar reflects back on this year's course and the course principles: how we focus not (only) on building technical capabilities, but on maps as means of visual storytelling, while not forgetting ethics and emerging trends of cartography. We were lucky to have many brilliant guest lectures this year who brought both practitioner and academic perspectives & map stories.

Very impressed with the GDAL development team - again :) Reported a weird issue/possible bug on the mailing list at 12:19, got a message with a PR containing a fix at 14:06 - pretty impressive.
You'd never get this sort of speed from commercial software, and in fact it is GDAL that is behind a lot of that commercial software anyway.
I donate semi-regularly to GDAL, and am considering becoming an official sponsor (through my self-employment setup) - I'd encourage you to do the same.

I am working on an online map with MapLibre. The basemap contains 3D buildings. However, these are transparent. You can see other layers through the buildings. Perhaps this can be seen in the screenshot.
The basemap is from basemap.de / @BKG.
Website, including code (German): basemap.de/produkte-und-dienst
Style JSON: sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/gdz_bas

Is there a way to remove the transparency?
