The lovely new #waterwaymapOrg Globe view from @amapanda insists on the biggest rivers. Quite interesting to rotate the map around the world. Let's compare this #OpenStreetMap #hydro #network perspective with a #hierarchy style using order:strahler tag to render the ramification levels.
Review: Geospatial 2025: @LindaStevens has published “GIS and Geospatial 2025: A Year in Review”, summarizing the highlights and lowlights that shaped the past year in our industry – from the rise of geospatial #AI to pricing pressures.

Geohipster Calendar is out and about. Like Maps from random cartographers?
https://www.geohipster.com/2025/11/20/2026-geohipster-calendar/ #cartography #geohipster

We've created a way to display interactive maps in the browser, completely client-side! #gis #gischat

Drop your data in as #csv or #apache #parquet file, and your vector shapefile as a #geojson, and your map is ready to go!

It's hosted on #GitHub pages (so it's free!) but can be embedded anywhere

(we tried out @penpot in the design process!)
