Project OSRMWe’ve been experimenting with an isochrone endpoint today and it’s shaping up nicely.
Still experimental, but a fun Friday afternoon rabbit hole. Watch this space. 🗺️

Geoinformation chatbot for the canton of Berne – Spatialists – geospatial news
The canton of Berne has launched a #chatbot on their geoinformation portal that lets users ask questions about available cantonal #geodata and its #metadata in natural language — in German, French, English, and more. It is not (yet?) a ‘talk to the map’ solution, but a discovery tool for navigating the website and finding data.

What changes when earthquake data is treated as a visual signal instead of only a dataset?
This work was built in the context of the February 2023 Turkey/Syria earthquakes as an awareness-focused response.

Joining 130 million points – Spatialists – geospatial news
Dewey Dunnington revisits his 2024 benchmark of #spatialjoin operations on 130 million points, now testing #SedonaDB and #DuckDB #Spatial in comparison to the original tools. The results are remarkable: 6 seconds on a laptop replacing 3-5 minutes and 50 GB of RAM, a 30x-50x speedup achieved in just over a year.
Stamen DesignWe want to hear about your map tools! Hey designers, developers, cartographers, or anyone who works with maps: we want to know what tools you use to wrangle geospatial data, design maps online, or to collaborate with people who do. We extended the deadline to May 15 for Stamen's Cartographic Tooling Survey, please take a few minutes to fill it out! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDZjRA0bIdnt8WY1GWTS8y2UEiOkLPcQLfMu2EWjxYbAgO5w/viewform
Day 88. Environmental Intelligence Platform 🌍
This was a long-form client platform build delivered over about nine months, where geospatial rendering, product workflows, and infrastructure had to evolve in parallel.
Map stack: open-source MapLibre GL JS with PMTiles delivery through Cloudflare, using open base tiles (OSM/Nextzen ecosystem).
