Don't go to the #map on my #photography website:
nicolas-hoizey.photo/map/

Don't click the “play” button at the bottom of the controls in the top right corner.

You've been warned!

You risk being mesmerized for hours, have a nice week-end... 😅

Even more if you also click the “fullscreen” button… 🤪

Disclaimer: it loads a loooooot of map tiles, you need a pretty good connection for it to run smoothly, and no fear of data plan consumption.

Vor ein paar Monaten hat mich interessiert, ob es vor meiner Tür überdurchschnittlich oft kracht (weil mir das so vorkam). Daraus entstanden ist nun eine interaktive Karte:

Ich habe alle Unfälle zw. 2009 und 2023 aus der #Hamburg Polizeistatistik (dank #IFG Anfrage) als Punkte auf einer Karte dargestellt (ca. 1 Mio Stk): Es kracht einfach immer und überall in einer Großstadt. Fand das einigermaßen erschreckend.

“A Map of streets named after men or women” is a common (& great) #map that

But I wonder how streets like „Kaiserstraße“ (“Kaiser Street”) are categorised… It's not named after a person who is male. It's named after a type of person who is always male…

Continued thread

OpenStreetMap could be the perfect tool to do this, but unfortunately, in my experience, most street parking has not been tagged.

You can help: it's like a game, just look at satellite photos and draw a box around the street parking spaces.

I found out it is harder to publish an app to the Play Store than is is to publish an app to the App Store. To publish to the Play Store you need 12 testers. Does Google know how hard it is to make friends?

If you are on #Android want to try out a super simple #map app with a gorgeous map of the Netherlands (map5topo.nl), DM me your e-mail and I will add you as a tester.

I found having free downloaded Organic Maps on my phone very useful for navigating through towns. But, for planing & traveling the open road, paper maps are a must have. Paper maps provide perspective on a large scale but also fine detail. Paper maps include geographic places names, jurisdictional boundaries, places of interest, infrequently traveled roads all of which are lacking on digital maps, even if you zoom way in. So get the big picture, get paper maps!
