Even several years later, the MapGuide-Rest project still impresses.

I love how I can render Cesium (CZML) from my SQL Server geometries and stream it real-time into Cesium with MapGuide! https://t.co/7nVEV9Ffkz

@MatthewHMalone For over 25 years there has been a way to store DWG files with Coordinate Systems, Topology, Layers, Blocks, etc - and already in a spatial database such as SQL Server.
Today, it is free when someone buys AutoCAD (AutoCAD Map 3D Toolset).
Most CAD and GIS Users have no idea.

My favorite new feature in "What's new in the AutoCAD Map 3D 2024 Toolset" is that "..no longer crashes when..", especially when connecting to ArcGIS Enterprise or Online. https://t.co/ZU8Tc9DOsT

Great matrix comparing ArcGIS Web Appbuilder with Experience Builder. This should be timely as we're all planning on moving to Experience Builder in the next year or so.

@cliffpat In Hobart, a friend introduced me to a TimTam-Slam. Bite both ends off the cookie and attempt to use it as a straw to drink your coffee. A coffee soaked TimTam is the next level.

@rjhale Disable video acceleration in QGIS?

When upgrading ArcGIS Pro to version 3, be sure to install Microsoft .NET Framework 6 first.

My favorite new feature in AutoCAD Map 3D 2023 is the ability to connect to ESRI File Geodatabases.

@MelanieStoneMOD I think all those Cities/Regions/Planets use the metric system. Especially Hoth.

These floating, battery-free sensors might be great for monitoring crop and environment health. https://t.co/BemvTKdG6o

Sales is everything.
If you didn't get that job or missed out of that contract, it's because you didn't communicate how awesome you are!

In Autodesk Infraworks, it dead-easy to create a model of your city.

For example it only took 5 minutes to create a 3D model of Bangui, Central African Republic. https://t.co/wNvCBqV0tW

Since I am exploring ArcGIS Feature Services, I decided to add the Guelph Snow Plows live feed into AutoCAD Map too from ArcGIS online. https://t.co/xV6heiaRJu

[Gordon Luckett @gordonluckett]

One of my favourite features in QGIS is that I can use ArcGIS Feature Services.
For example, here are the live City of Guelph snow plows in QGIS coming from https://t.co/ul84fkV9dx. https://t.co/aOScqngLwJ
