Map matching your collection of linestrings in #PostgreSQL #PostGIS via PL/Python & Valhalla Routing made easy - find out how it works ➡️ gis-ops.com/map-matching-p… #GIS #strava #Python3 🌎🌍🌏

Berlin mappy friends - we're hosting a casual GeoBerlin social April 4th at KASCHK, organized by @insertcoffee @nils_nolde @bdon and @bertspaan ! find details on the GeoBerlin meetup group here: meetup.com/geo-berlin/eve…

Reminder that we like to combine @TomTom or @HEREmaps with open-source routing engines such as @ValhallaRouting , optionally with historical and/or live traffic. Move ahead of the commercial space like @googlemaps with your own routing stack: github.com/gis-ops/prop2o…

Thanks to a community contribution, the @ValhallaRouting web app is finally usable on mobile devices📱🧭🍾🥳Check out valhalla.openstreetmap.de/directions now and enjoy! And give a big thanks to @FOSSGIS_Verein who is funding the infrastructure!

After a long silence, we'll be broadcasting our efforts a bit more again:) First up: @ValhallaRouting now supports time-dependence (for e.g. traffic) in the Matrix API! Learn more how to use it in the (now merged) PR: github.com/valhalla/valha…

Vector Tile serving with built-in user authentiction? Find out how we do it using only #postgis and #fastapi here ➡️ gis-ops.com/fastapi-auth-v… #opensource #gis #geospatial 🌎🌍🌏

Fiiiinallllyyy we managed to do another Valhalla release!🥳🥳 So much improved from the last release: github.com/valhalla/valha…

anyone hanging out in firenze city center tonight before #FOSS4G2022 tmrw? we're going out for dinner now and wouldn't mind some pre-socializing socializing

Hey #OSM community! We are seeking volunteers for a focus group study into conflict in #OSM. Do you have OSM (a) moderator experience; or (2) OSM tool dev experience or are you an (3) OSM mapper? Info here: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Euge… @unimelb #HCI #conflict #GISCience RT pls

@Dr_NicEllis @pokateo_ The latter won’t give you access in the UI via the Processing toolbox though. It’d be pretty easy to write a wrapper for that. That kind of wrapper could even be very generic, just converting QGIS input to ESRI input. Sounds like a pretty worthy weekend project:)

@Dr_NicEllis @pokateo_ Without depending on ArcGIS anymore, you’d have to re-write all portions using arcpy with pyqgis. If you can depend on ArcGIS, you just have to patch QGIS‘ PYTHONPATH to include the directory of arcpy.

Every so often I love to be reminded of the biggest devtools bizdev fail of all time linuxjournal.com/content/git-or…

Today #GSoC started and we're happy to mentor a @ValhallaRouting project with @kevinkreiser, to add public transit from raw GTFS to Valhalla's @openstreetmap graphs. Meet Chris Park, who will be working on the project over the summer: openstreetmap.org/user/Chris%20J… 🙌👋🥳

@SteveC There’s some strong small-kid-that’s-my-toy vibes. Couldn’t agree less with almost everything. And instead of weirdly insulting all Germans, you might wanna dig into its culture a little by learning some, e.g. beleidigte Leberwurst and Fremdschämen come to mind

Four student projects have been accepted onto the 2022 "Google Summer Of Code" #GSoC lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk… Wishing them a successful summer + thanks to the mentors!

@vintagemapstore This is a render of mine if you would like to credit me.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. Seems important. HT @circulareconomy

@gis_ops @BulletproofBry @warpedgeoid @Dragons8mycat @ActiveMargins @qgis speaking of which, this is a great overview of network analysis and modeling: "Open source tools for geographic analysis in transport planning" link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@BulletproofBry @warpedgeoid @Dragons8mycat @ActiveMargins @qgis Unfortunately there still is. One big one coming to mind is network analysis. IMO one of the last big modules we need to come with in QGIS, existing tools are not on par. We’re currently working on fixing that though :)

@warpedgeoid @Dragons8mycat @ActiveMargins @qgis 🧐 This just sounds like issues with ESRI. I thought you were saying there’s something ESRI can do that QGIS, GRASS, GDAL, OSSIM, and Python can’t.

I'm close to writing a recommendation that @QGIS is the superior solution for handling geospatial data and cartography work. Anyone have experience converting an organization from ESRI ecosystem to @QGIS? From numerous File Geodatabases to possibly a PostGIS server? #gischat

@kyle_e_walker @Mapbox @elipousson Thanks to @ValhallaRouting! mapbox did mostly implement traffic but it wouldn’t have been possible without @mapzen and its amazing routing engineers.

The @Mapbox Isochrone API now incorporates live and historical traffic, and these updates are available to #rstats users in the mapboxapi package (new version just submitted to CRAN). Also check out the new ggplot2 basemap functionality thanks to @elipousson's contributions!
