Open source geological mapping with British Geological Survey | Mergin Maps

British Geological Survey modernizes field mapping with QGIS and Mergin Maps, enabling flexible, open-source geological data capture and collaboration.

this is a seriously cool map. mostly cause australia is right there, but also because it's a neat projection

Sometimes getting map data from government "open data portals" is not as easy as it should be. Thankfully, the excellent and free #QGIS desktop app has the QuickOSM plugin to allow fast and convenient downloading of data from #OpenStreetMap

To get the boundary of my county, I put the area in view, open QuickOSM plugin, select "Layer Extent", and search for boundary=administrative and name="Monroe County".

That's it! The county boundary appears, ready to use.

Cuối tuần mình ra mắt **Land Hunter** – web app cho phép “đào” xuyên trái đất để tìm địa điểm đối xứng (antipode). Dùng React + Tailwind, Leaflet + react‑leaflet, animation Framer Motion. Đặc điểm: hiệu ứng “X‑Ray” hiển thị khu vực dưới chùm đèn, tính năng Auto‑Pilot đưa người dùng tới vùng đất, hệ thống “Passport” unlock badge khi tìm được kết nối đất‑đất hiếm. Đánh giá, góp ý UI & hiệu năng nhé! #WebDev #React #Mapping #SideProject #CôngNghệ #LậpTrình
