Nobody asked, but hey we just enabled HTTPS on Pretty Maps, an old project from 2010 by Stamen alum Aaron Straup Cope @thisisaaronland. Amazing that it still works!

#30DayMapChallenge Day 14: OPENSTREETMAP.

DATA AT YOUR FINGERTIPS - Thanks to the work of countless individuals and organizations around the world, the OpenStreetMap project gives access to an immense amount of raw data from which maps of almost any place can be drawn. And thanks to the efforts of other dedicated contributors, map design can be approached from experimental perspectives.

Tools: #prettymaps, #Photoshop, #Illustrator.

#30DayMapChallenge day 20 #OpenStreetMap

The first thing that came to my mind according today's theme was to use the #prettymaps library.

Prettymaps is a Python library which allows to quickly draw pretty looking maps :) The data used to map creation by this tool comes from OpenStreetMap. User can cutomize the layout in many ways. I encourage you to give it a try.

Happy #gisday!
