This is a video I want to make one day

The whole story behind Keyhole, Google Maps & Google Earth is so wild I can't believe it's not more commonly known, even in the mapping / geospatial / satellite image world

@geomenke Is the create VPC tool fixed in the new release?

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

dang @USGS_Quakes tell us how you really feel about quake quacks... also i read this in @rainnwilson's voice? probably because dwight was the emergency prep coordiantor? anyway you're welcome

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@pokateo_maps You know you can open MXDs in Pro right? ...also I had to open one for the first time in years and shuddered to think this is still a daily experience for a non-trivial number of people...

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@jscarto I just opened twitter and I'm closing it right now because this is already the best thing I've seen lol

Soon we won't be able to use nightlights as a proxy for economic growth.

Why?

It's due to limitations of its spectral bands.

Here's the breakdown in simple terms:

@paulbfrandsen Hope it went well! Man you are cruisin’!

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@MaxLenormand Do you have access to vision yet? I'm really dying to try it for frontend work. I have a couple UI designs I've been wanting to try but lack the JS proficient. Some of the samples I've been seeing look rad

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@MaxLenormand @erikfromalaska Is it for a video?

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@MaxLenormand I’ve had the same experience! Full stack felt so daunting. But with chat and Copilot I’m flying through standing up my project & implementing my high level knowledge of DevOps into something tactical. Feels like what would’ve taken me a month to figure out is now a couple days

@felt 🙏

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@MapMakinMeyers Right on! I didn't even know that was a thing

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@cleoabram yeah... felt this on a spiritual level

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@felt I was just using this a day or two ago and was wondering if it was new or if I had just been blind for a long time

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@pokateo_maps You're on the list! Stay tuned

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

Great timing @pokateo_maps! I'm working on a resource of map archives for a tutorial video--aiming for 2 sources for ea. US state, and one for each country (hint: A lot of university and national libraries have these). Anyone interested in the finished list, lmk!

Did you know that the British Library has added a million+ scans to the public domain? And the best part? A TON of them are just gorgeous maps! Here are some of my favorite lovelies from their collection 🧵

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

@_jsolly Thanks! Figured this was a good way to document my uphill slog out of the Esri realm over the past couple of years

[Ryan Shields @ryanjshields_]

Upping my #mappymeme game. Dedicated profile and all. Stay tuned for more content experiments #spatialstories #spatialstoriesmedia #gischat #gis #geospatial

[Trust the Geoprocess @thegeoprocess]

🤦‍♂️ #tbt to that time I tried to change GML to KML because I thought it was a typo. Wish I would’ve had @feltmaps back then... #geospatial #felt #gis #gischat #mappymeme #tech #techmemes #data #datascience
