I honestly don't know whether this map will HELP . . . or HINDER your attempts to make sense of my large up-load of photos about Das-Marinas ~ within whose boundaries my bungalow lies !

 

The red circle is 'roughly' the area covered by the municipality of the City-of-Das-Marinas . . .

that circle is about five miles in diameter.

The Old Town ( 'BAYAN' in Tagalog-language ) is shown by the small circle, left, 1-mile across.

 

The mustard-yellow road, running vertically down the picture, through the old town, is the Emilio-Aguinaldo Highway .... W = Walter-Mart, and H = the Hospital. R, below, = Robinsons.

That highway runs for 20-miles North, off the top of this map, passing through the cities of IMUS, then BACOOR, on its way to Manila Airport . . . then on to the vast THOUSAND SQUARE MILES of METRO-MANILA . . . half-as-big-again as Greater-London, England !!

 

The other mustard-yellow road, running diagonally across the map, is Congressional Avenue,

which passes right through my village, San-Manuel-II ~ which is opposite Area-1, from the church, to just beyond my bungalow.

 

If you are still confused, just send me a Flickr-mail !!

Nick is working on building a new city to have his new LARP in, and he asked (very nicely) me to do the map of the city. Here is the "final" version, though there may still be some edits to be done.

 

This is a smaller version of the high-resolution one, as I didn't feel like putting that monster up here on flickr.

 

Yay for fake cartography!

.It is a good time to go to Luxor now, and always good to have a map for orientation on the hand...

Since good maps are to be found difficult sometimes, I start a new map-project,

 

The maps are not yet ready, and if you find mistakes let me know, I need your help.

 

But enjoy this maps, print them out and take them with you, so that you know where you shot your photos....

Map made by a friend versus official/tourist map

mapped using QGIS 2.18.10, base locations from Wikipedia. Shows all bases, some of which are no longer used, or are summer-only.

 

I watched "The Thing" the other day... Norwegian bases are nowhere near the American bases. They're on the other side of the continent. :-)

 

Used Python to generate the 10 degree lines of latitude and longitude, as print composer grids don't work too well with Polar projections like this one.

One of the features that we tried for a while with our maps was the ability to enable multiple layers on the same map. The markers on the map would be of either colour or appear stacked.

 

This was intended to allow users to discover areas that have a good mix of data points, such as lively tourist areas with lots of attractions and restaurants together.
