This new map shows topographic features on the far side of the moon in unprecedented detail. It was made from new data obtained by the laser altimeter instrument onboard the Japanese lunar orbiter Kaguya. The map is accurate to a vertical resolution of about 12 meters, according to mission scientists. The map was released at the American Geophysical Union meeting now underway, where a raft of new findings have been announced.

This map shows wifi access point data logged by my wifi sniffer and GPS device. It uses a custom tileserver to provide an additional data layer to the Google map. "Hotter" spots on the map correspond to more open access points in that area.
This is still a work in progress, and consists only of about 3 days worth of data.
an example of mapping of colors, based on the Hungarian algorithm.

I have seen tone mapping done and always thought it looked lovely...one of my flickr buddies does it often but I've never done it before.
When I came across it, in Corel photoshop pro, I decided to give it a go...not hard really, it's just important not to 'over cook' it lol.
I've seen some that are over cooked...I hope this one isn't...I appreciate constructive critisism from those of you who know more about this than I do...ta.
With love
Nat :)

In response to the Department of Interior’s Powering Our Future initiative, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has begun investigating how to assess the impacts of wind energy development on wildlife at a national scale. The first step in understanding the impact of wind energy development is to determine where the wind turbines are located. To remedy the lack of current turbine information, the USGS created this publicly available national dataset and interactive mapping application of wind turbines.
You can view the interactive map on your desktop at bit.ly/turbinelocations.

Sebastian Munster - Tabula novarum insularum, Quas Diversis Respectibus Occidentales & Indianas uocant.
"A cartographic milestone by Sebastian Munster that is noted for a number of firsts:
* It is earliest collectible map which shows the recently discovered Western Hemisphere.
* The map names the Pacific Ocean, Mare pacificum.
* The large island of Zipangri, here seen just off the coast of California, is one of the earliest attempts to depict Japan on a map.
* This map clearly depicts the New World as a distinct insular landmass and clearly shows the continuity between North and South America.
* This map's inclusion in Munster's Cosmography, first published in 1544, (a widely read book along with the Geography from 1540) helped to seal the fate of America as the name for the New World.
The flags of Spain and Portugal fly over their respective possessions in the Caribbean and South Atlantic. The large galleon sailing west in the Pacific is a representation of Magellan's ship Victoria, the first to circumnavigate the world. The flags of Spain and Portugal fly over their respective possessions in the Caribbean and South Atlantic. North America is almost separated by an inland sea reflecting Verazanno's voyage of 1524 in which he incorrectly assumed that Pimlico Sound, across the Outer Banks, was actually the Pacific Ocean. This depiction of the supposed Verazzano Sea extending through North America to within a short distance of the Atlantic helped to perpetuate the belief that a route could easily be found across the new continent to the rich Spice Islands of the east. This misconception helped to stimulate further exploration of the region. Munster's imaginative drawing of "canbali" in the area of present day Brazil shows the European fascination with reports of cannibalism. Besides Zipangri are the "Archipelagus 7448 insularum", the 7,448 island off the coast of Asia that Marco Polo refers to in his book and the same islands that Christopher Columbus thought he had reached in 1492.
Munster's map was widely considered to be the standard map of the Americas until the publication of Ortelius' Americas map in 1570."

This choropleth map is part of a series that were made for CIFAS, the UK’s fraud prevention service. All the maps were styled consistently so that they compliment each other and they were published in Fraudscape: a report analysing fraud in 2012.
