Yesterday at @stamen we were discussing all the various kinds of basemap variants (light mode vs dark mode, satellite vs street map, navigation vs terrain maps, etc) and things got a little silly. What's your #Basemap#AlignmentChart look like? #gischat#cartography#maptime
Sad news. It has come to our attention that the @NOAA weather station moored at 0º, 0º (nicknamed @NullIslandBuoy) no longer exists! Check out the update at the end of @mapppingmashups's @nullisland blog post for more details of the buoy's untimely demise. https://t.co/CxzHSMNmSQ
@MtnMapper@stamen@NACIS@geeknixta Unlike the Myst shape with its docked boat, this coastline has no distinctive features that give us any indication of scale. So maybe the 6,400 hectare value makes sense for this one too.
@MtnMapper@stamen@NACIS Do you know who created it originally? If it’s never been georeferenced we might have to do what @geeknixta did for the other shape and just adjust the dimensions through trial and error until we get the desired area.
@MtnMapper@stamen Oh yes, the controversial non-Myst version! If anyone from @NACIS has a shapefile or GeoJSON for the "NACIS Null Island" I'll include it!
Hello friends! Maptime HQ has been in hibernation for a while, but it's time to renew our https://t.co/3H9MG2zvcf domain name, and we're asking for donations to help us keep it registered. Can you chip in to help us meet our goal? https://t.co/YGp61ZTWDB Thanks! 🌈❤️ #maptime
@visualizingpal Thank you for your excellent work. I follow you on a lot of platforms but I am trying to migrate to the Fediverse (specifically Mastodon) which is the decentralized, non-corporate social network. I'm trying to avoid Twitter/X. Would you consider creating a Mastodon account?
I am once again here to ask you to join me on Mastodon, or really anywhere else but here.
Need some hand-holding migrating over to Mastodon? Let me know, I'm happy to help.

The basemaps you know with brand new data!

@hannahkrieg We have this in Bellingham and Whatcom County and people claim to like it because more institutional memory and continuity. But really, how many incumbents get booted anyway? I find that a dumb argument to be worried that the whole council might be replaced in a single year.
"What's next for Stamen Maps?" In this followup to our last #podcast episode, Director of Geospatial Stephanie May (@mizmay) talks w/ Design Director Nicolette Hayes about the legacy of our iconic map styles and our exciting new partnership w/ @stadiamaps https://t.co/kj32aQMr0X
I'm really excited that the famous @stamen map styles will live on into the future, thanks to @stadiamaps! I've been helping to support these styles for a decade now and it's a relief to see them updated and refreshed for the next generation of map users! https://t.co/zFUB3xZgym
