@pokateo_maps Talking to people is more important than checking off as many presentations as you can get to. Also build some down time into your schedule. I often sit out at least one time block each day.

@pokateo_maps Pro label classes = 🤮
QGIS data-defined override = 🎉

@pokateo_maps I was making a giant poster-size map for work in Pro, then I scrapped it and restarted from scratch in QGIS. One reason: leader lines!

@jayforeman @RhodesMaps The current southern border of the state of Delaware with Maryland is the result of a map incorrectly placing Cape Henlopen and the ensuing major dispute between the Penns and the Calverts. Delaware would have been even smaller than it is now https://t.co/SvynfuFquZ

@Dartfirststate hello, are passengers permitted to carry luggage on the intercounty buses and/or the beach bus? If so, is there a maximum amount? I cannot find anything about this on your website. Thanks

@_workchronicles This was an actual scene in the film "Nine to Five"... Violet's idea to color code the accounts

@XenonGT @IMAGIN_mich This looks like it could be a good candidate for the @geohipster calendar

@NWSSPC @NWS_MountHolly What is "WW issuance"?

@undertheraedar Point of order... what projection was used to generate said bounding box and were alternate options debated and examined?

@EcoAndrewTRC I'm not a small business owner but I think it's OK

[Philip Pierdomenico @PhilPierdo]

@pokateo_maps I do something very similar... I call my subfolders "Original", "Processing", and "Deliverables"

[Philip Pierdomenico @PhilPierdo]

@EcoAndrewTRC @pokateo_maps I'm not a manager, but if I was I would absolutely fall into the former

@RhodesMaps Don't forget the classic 1947 Canadian educational short film "The Impossible Map"

@EcoAndrewTRC I have at least one of those books... I need to expand my collection.

@EcoAndrewTRC Someday soon I hope to visit your shop but I will be traveling via Amtrak.

Or Amtrak and MBTA if I also go to Boston in the same trip.

@DanJFord I would prefer as little clutter on the screen as possible. Is the function of the Edit Features button intuitive to the user?

@ebreedon @John_M_Nelson It is my single biggest pet peeve reading any technical articles when people write "leverage" as a fancy sounding substitute for "use." Like nails on a chalkboard.
