Is there a more current version?

Done mapping all 25 #barangays of Minalabac, Camarines Sur, #Philippines 🇵🇭 in #OpenStreetMap, creating/updating their #Wikidata items, and linking the two with each other.

There’s an interesting development about this map that I uploaded to #WikimediaCommons in 2024. Former Associate Justice Antonio Carpio bought the original paper map and recently gifted it to the National Library of the Philippines.

“[Niantic Spatial]’s latest product is a model that it says can pinpoint your location on a map to within a few centimeters, based on a handful of snapshots of the buildings or other landmarks in view. The firm wants to use it to help robots navigate with greater precision in places where GPS is unreliable.”

This website visualizes the 100,000 most popular Wikipedia articles as skyscrapers. I struggle to explain why but it is great fun. Have a guess what the most read article was in the last year!

Rolled the releases for GNOME 50 today (a bit early, but I'll be busy all day tomorrow):

Maps 50.0
libshumate 1.6.0

and also a (small) bugfix 49.5 on the (old) stable branch.

Didn't yet do a write-up about the new stuff, guess that'll have to be done sometime soonish, too… 😎
