My coach asked me to map what/who Global X is. Is it a surprise that I put myself in the middle of the page?

Historically, aerial mapmaking has been handled by governments and businesses alone. Who else could afford to put satellites in orbit or hire planes for private flyovers?

 

The notion that aerial imagery is only for the rich and powerful is being turned on its ear by an inspired group of DIY cartographers who have pioneered the field of grassroots mapping. The concept is simple: for about $100 in materials you can shoot aerial imagery that is higher resolution than any standard public satellite imagery. Using incredibly simple balloon and kite contraptions, you can capture the images on demand whenever you want, as often as you want.

 

Jeffrey Warren of MIT's Media Lab came up with the basic concept, which he calls "Grassroots Mapping," last year while working on a land-rights dispute in Lima, Peru. Then the BP oil spill happened, and the benefits of this method of mapping became urgently clear. Working with the Lousiana Bucket Brigade during the media blackout when FAA regulations prevented aircraft from flying lower than 4,000 feet above sensitive areas of the spill, Warren and the Grassroots Mapping team flew balloons and kites and captured incredibly vivid images of the oil spill's impacts. Using simple online cartographic tools, the photos can be stitched together into bigger maps, like this one of the Lake Borgne wetlands east of New Orleans captured on June 11th of last year.

Amazing find at Hughenden Manor. During WW2 the basement of the manor was used as a secret map-making base, cod-named Hillside and was at the top of Hitler's hit list.

 

Over 100 people were based here drawing up maps of Germany and occupied Europe.

 

This was in the ice bunker next to the manor.

3D mapping at DUMBO Art Festival. I think I expected to much because I must admit that I was a little disappointed. Not the best I've seen. Did enjoy my day in DUMBO though!!! Great festival
