There was man with a ball thing on a pole outside our house today.
I got chatting and he was from Ordnance Survey, taking measurements of the estate so that it could be added to their maps.
I really like maps so I found this very interesting.

#Mapping A World Of Change

Inviting the Welsh poet Grug Muse to compose & recite a triptych inspired by #OrdnanceSurvey's incredible maps of Aberfan following the tragedy there produced one of the most emotion-evoking presentations ever at a conference.

The maps can be seen at the The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth or their website :

Anyone know what impact #KesslerSyndrome would have on #GNSS ?

I assume it renders these services at least partly (or even wholly) unusable, even if the satellites themselves are unaffected

We use GNSS a fair bit at work, both for staffs own navigation devices (when they are visiting clients) and the visit logging system (which confirms they are in correct location), I expect I have to prepare for disruption to this as part of #BusinessContinuity

At least it seems folk from #Zimbabwe (where many of our staff are from) get good #education on how to use #maps in high #school and their national mapping is very similar to #OrdnanceSurvey
