Another example of "Coordinates without CRS are meaningless numbers"

(Official document - "BOLETÍN OFICIAL DEL PRINCIPADO DE ASTURIAS")

Which CRS should I use with these coordinates?

That region in Spain, Asturias, uses UTM 29 on the west, and UTM 30 on the east.

(of course those coordinates only make sense in one of them... but I had to try/guess)

Hmm this job require ESRI, should I be blunt in my cover letter and tell them that I can do everything they want without paying a license and that they can pay 10% of it to FOSS dev/org?

In #foss4ge2025 I was talking about Mercator projection, and what is the difference with "Web-Mercator"

These images (at different zoom levels) show a loxodromic curve (at 45° N) in Web-Mercator (EPSG:3857) - that is a straight line in Mercator (EPSG:3395). In red the loxodromic or rhumline. In blue a straight line connecting the endpoints.

(To reproduce it in #QGIS, deselect "Clip features to canvas extent" for the affected layers as discussed in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/62654)

Vector tiles for openstreetmap.org: Yesterday, the #OpenStreetMap Foundation (#OSMF) launched #vectortiles on #OSM, delivering a sharper and faster map powered by a new backend. Developers may use the OSMF-hosted tiles under the Vector Tile Usage Policy and apply their own map styles.

OpenStreetMap.org now has a vector tiles layer.

Help from the #rstats folks. I have a landuse raster and a state raster. I want to tabulate the area of each landuse in each state. I've been reading {terra} docs but I can't figure out which function to use (`zonal` or `crostab`, `freq`).

I believe I've done this before but I can´t remember how. Any tips?

I would really like some recommendations for a maps mobile/webapp for noting down places that is NOT Google maps #gischat

Note: I used to use maps.me but it has become quite enshittified. I dis some research and recently explored maptera for Android, but it's missing a lot of features and can't export your data. I'm finding it hard to identify any alternative to Google maps.

Digital housekeeping leads to recalling interesting stories. Here's a good one - part 3 of answering questions about terrain, water and vegetation with a small backpackable drone. Plus @qgis and @OpenDroneMap

...and some maybe-nice cartography

As always, I'm open for #consulting, #contracting, #freelance work and even permanent jobs to work on these things. These days preferring the 'vision setting', leadership and training components.

Hey #GISChat, who's going to @osgeouk's #FOSS4GUK in Leeds in October? Trying to decide whether to go.
