So proud to see this initiative take flight!

[NACIS @NACIS]

A HUGE announcement for all NACIS members: today, we’re launching our new Mentor Program! We’re pairing experienced cartographers with those just starting out for one-on-one mentorship. Read more about it, and apply to be a mentor or mentee, at this link: https://t.co/kqpLlCsxWO

Our new Machines Reading Maps tool that allows searching Text on Maps is now live at https://t.co/I78lXjjztf 100 million words indexed on 57,000 maps. Users can correct any errors. See our Text On Maps Help Guide for detailed descriptions on using this exciting new feature.

There are many ways to get across the point of distortion in the Mercator map. Here's a planisphere indicating a distance across Africa and another distance across Russia and things don't add up

Bookmarking this for when I finally grow tired of the battling water stains on our morning coffee/smoothie cart (aka extra countertop space for our tiny kitchen)

So while everyone was off having fun and learning about this new GIS - SO and myself have been working on a top for this cabinet. Basically we needed a bar top. I had a few extra maps…

The constant reminder of what large scale map vs small scale map actually means to me. Long live post-its on computer monitors! Now to figure out how to make the sticky last since it fell off...

🚨 Four more days until #NACIS2023 proposals are due! https://t.co/KAivzDSasV

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

Always up for learning new map tips/tricks. This year's #MOOC did not disappoint. I give you one of the fun maps that pushed me further away from default settings. Props to @epunt @kennethfield @John_M_Nelson @NathanCShephard @wesleytjones for the carto lessons/entertainment/fun

[NACIS @NACIS]

Attention all map makers!! Submissions are open for our 2023 conference!! The deadline to submit is May 15, 2023. Visit https://t.co/rbBNajNB4e to submit your abstract, apply for a travel grant, and book your hotel room. #nacis2023

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

Had the best time brain storming and ironing out some details for #nacis2023 as a member of the board, I'm proud to say big plans are in the works.

[NACIS @NACIS]

Can’t wait to show y’all what we have in store for #nacis2023 Pittsburgh

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

@grischard His teaching assistants were wondering why he couldn't wait to show me his work and I said 'I may talk about maps a lot with my kiddos, hazard of the profession' #proudparentmoment

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

Bonus to the preschool 4 introducing cartography this week. 💕 This draft could use some projection consideration, along with labels, tho my largest concern is my kiddo thinks Antarctica and the Arctic are one continent when the map is a globe 🤪 We will discuss this further...

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

This, so much this. I can not explain how many times in the last couple of years sometimes things just *work* on the 3 try.

[🥔🗺️ ᴘᴏᴋᴀᴛᴇᴏ ᴍᴀᴘs @pokateo_maps]

Most people think the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, but to them I say, that's just GIS. Sometimes on the third try, your geoprocessing tool just inexplicably works.

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

@mapcourt Happy birthday! This is very pleasant.

[Dr. Patricia Solis @Patiflafla]

It’s finally online ! Free and open access to all !!! I can barely contain my excitement.

Pro tip: use clickbait commit messages to get your teammates to review your code faster

git commit -m “First she noticed a bug in production. What happens next will SHOCK you!”

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

@run_for_funner The perfect gift for inspiration-motivation on both the hiking and mapping front gold star to your sister!

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

When you let me walk through an art museum OF COURSE I'm going to find something related to maps. Fascinating piece by Paul Manship from 1934. #stlartmuseum #gischat

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

Been a while since I clicked through an entire google story, but this one was worth it. #womenmap

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

It takes a village to accomplish good work and good management recognizes that. Well said @run_for_funner

[VKW @run_for_funner]

Also can I just SAY (again) prioritizing people who code as “the most important part of the team” and saying designers, user researchers, documentation writers, and other staff are LESS THAN = your product will never be that good because you’re missing PERSPECTIVE.

[RRamZmaps @RRamZmaps]

@pokateo_ That legend is the epitome of awful. Well done.
