@EdConwaySky Who was it a surprise to?

[Laurence Oakes-Ash @LOakesAsh]

#30DayMapChallenge - hats off to my colleague Thomas for compiling all his 30 day map challenge maps into an amazing @Cadence_GIS_ story. Really great to see the diversity of the mapping over the last month: https://t.co/TWzuCERaHx

#30DayMapChallenge Day 30 - Make Over. I can't believe it is the final day of the challenge. I decided to do a make over of my maps from Day 28. Here are a couple of different versions, all in @Cadence_GIS_

#30DayMapChallenge Day 29 - Raster.

Raster layer plus geojson oceans polygon. I was surprised how difficult it was to find easy-to-use open raster data, so will aim to sort that out in 2026. Nice to see the versatility raster brings to @Cadence_GIS_

#30DayMapChallenge Day 28 - "Black"

Variations on a theme.

[Laurence Oakes-Ash @LOakesAsh]

@MalvernianKarl I run a high tech business and 2 talented staff members, out of our 60 opted to move to New Zealand last year

[Karl Williams @MalvernianKarl]

New ONS migration data has British nationals broken down by age band for the first time. Around 53% of the net outflow is aged 16-24, and 46% aged 25-34. Goodbye, Nick (30)...

#30DayMapChallenge Day 27 - Boundaries. @Cadence_GIS_ makes it easy to copy whole packs of analysis from one location to another. Check out this video showing how a simply change in the Project Bounds enables you to copy your analysis to another location.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 26 - Transport. I didn't know where to start (or finish) today as there is so much transport functionality in @Cadence_GIS_ for both transport planners and modellers. So I just made a video to help introduce you to my Cadence Story: https://t.co/LOWyL35Eow

#30DayMapChallenge Day 25 - Hexagons

Thank you @Cadence_GIS_ - with your in-built open data from the British Geological Survey, I am no longer scared of hexagons.

[Laurence Oakes-Ash @LOakesAsh]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 24 - Places and their Names

I live in a place called Exmouth which shares its name with Exmouth... Australia. Have a look at my interactive map highlighting 11 more places with naming links. What others can you spot?

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22 - Natural Earth. Here's a @Cadence_GIS_ Story my daughter is working on looking at endangered animals: https://t.co/HQB0RKopzm

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22 - Natural Earth. Ever imagined paragliding off Mount Everest? Here's what it might look like with a satellite basemap.

[Laurence Oakes-Ash @LOakesAsh]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 21 - Icons. Today I made a little map of the "Top 10 Pop Culture Icons of the 21st Century" based on an article from imdb. Have a look at the interactive map https://t.co/CsqAHf2UXg. Create and share one yourself in @Cadence_GIS_

[Laurence Oakes-Ash @LOakesAsh]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 20 - Water.

I thought today I'd show the most important water feature learned in geography - the Oxbow Lake.

Log into @Cadence_GIS_ , grab some cool basemaps, pick a region and see how many oxbow lakes you can find.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 19 - Projections. As a non GIS expert, I shudder at the "projections" theme. That is one of many reasons we built @Cadence_GIS_ - to make things like projections easy. Instead, I've made a Story looking at shadows in a range of different @Mapbox basemaps

[Albert Edwards @albertedwards99]

I rewatched The Big Short to remind myself that whatever is now written in retrospect, the overwhelming majority of macro analysts totally failed to predict the GFC in 2007/8. And once again I am being told there is no bubble to burst! Yeah right.
