Bart presents MapLibre new vector tile format at @geomob

Georeferencing in QGIS isn’t just about control points, it’s about the right transformation. Linear, Helmert work best for maps with minimal distortion Polynomial (1st–3rd order), Thin Plate Spline handle old /warped maps. A detailed video explanation is attached in the comments

All 13.5 million jobs in Texas, visualized by sector in @Mapbox with block-level precision. The just-released 2023 LODES data is one of the most underrated public datasets.

Tired of the default colors? QuickMap now lets you customize them. Oh, and 1024x1024 heightmaps are enabled too. quickmap.dev #webdev #devtools #threejs

QGIS plugin that unlocks access to 80+ petabytes of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with zero coding required.

One line of code. That’s all it takes to get access to Google Open Buildings, the largest building dataset, for any country. 100% free and available globally.

Here, I’m spending my holidays extracting colors with #QGIS. What’s most interesting, and immediately applicable, about studying the use of #color in old maps is their limited palette. This #map looks visually rich, yet it was created using just six colors. Less is more!

If you work in geospatial, PMTiles is one of the technologies you need to know going into 2026. This past year, I wrote an R package to help you get started. Learn how here: walker-data.com/posts/pmtiles-…

Our new workshop "From Cloud to Desktop: Working with Earth Engine Data in QGIS" is now available on YouTube! This workshop provides a gentle introduction to Earth Engine for QGIS users and unlocks Petabytes of cloud datasets in QGIS without any coding! youtube.com/watch?v=FjyXQq…

@berttemme It would be neat if it had an API to query an area and retrieve urls of all models in that area.

3DMR: 3D Model Repository (3dmr.eu), is a web application that allows users to link 3D models of world features to locations on OpenStreetMap.

Just stumbled onto this fantastic online 3D Viewer. Supports a ton of formats. 3dm, 3ds, 3mf, amf, bim, brep, dae, fbx, fcstd, #gltf, ifc, iges, step, stl, obj, off, ply, wrl github.com/kovacsv/Online…

🚀 SamGeo v0.14.0 is here! This release brings interactive segmentation for remote sensing imagery powered by Meta’s SAM3. 🟦 Draw a bounding box to automatically detect all similar objects across the image. 📝 Or just type a text prompt to segment objects instantly. No complex setup. No manual labeling. Just intuitive, AI-driven geospatial analysis. 🔗 GitHub: github.com/opengeos/segme… 🧪 Notebook: samgeo.gishub.org/examples/sam3_… #SAM3 #GeoAI #Geospatial #OpenSource #Python #DataScience

Better Boundaries tech.marksblogg.com/administrative… compares 12 level 0 administrative boundary datasets. OSM, Overture and UN COD came out on top for geometry. Others did well for country code counts, measuring in MB instead of GB. Trade-offs galore.

Help! Help is needed on the pglite project bringing the postgis extension to WASM. If anyone has experience with building Postgis and porting libraries to WASM. Please check out this great project. github.com/electric-sql/p…
