"It is easy to take GIS tools for granted because they feel fast and intuitive. Yet every click depends on contributions from many fields. Surveyors measured land boundaries by hand. Mathematicians built the formulas for projections. Geodesists defined the reference frames. Engineers designed satellites and receivers. Programmers wrote the tools that display and analyze the data." #gisDay thoughts by Benedicta Boasiako https://gogeomatics.ca/the-story-beneath-the-map/

Am #GISDay ehren wir Dr. Gladys West, die geniale Mathematikerin, deren geodätische Erdmodellierung in den 1970er-80ern die GPS-Grundlage schuf. Ihre SEASAT- & GEOSAT-Arbeit lieferte präzise Geoid-Modelle für heutige #geospatial-Apps. #wow 😮 #WomenInSTEM

In 2021 I gave a talk about “openness” briefly tracing the history from the Free Software movement, #GNU, and OSS, to open formats like XML and ODF, then to the #FreeCulture and #OpenData movement like #CreativeCommons, #Wikipedia, and #Wikidata.
I then pivoted to the parallel developments in the geospatial industry leading to the creation of what I call the open geospatial tripod: Open Geospatial Consortium, Open Source Geospatial Foundation, and OpenStreetMap.

We celebrated #GISDay with not one, but two Geomob events. A #geomobBER, but also a #geomobLX in the heart of the Portuguese capital.
Thanks as always to Startup Lisboa for opening your doors late to the community, and to our organisers @doublebyte and Miguel Marques for hosting such a wonderful evening.

For #GISDay, I re-digitized a whole city block of impervious polygons (with #topology) because the last person did such a bad job. No one will ever care or know. It took about 3 hours and yes all curves are curves, they are tangent, or fillets and sidewalks are all measured widths, the rest has to be from imagery
This is basically my job, to quietly fix things without thanks. I'm ok with that

How does economic complexity correlate with human development?
On today's #gisday I'll share my first attempt at a bivariate chloropleth map.
Admittedly, there's a lot going on and 25 tints can be hard to distinguish, plus I tried to keep it as accessible as possible marrying two accessible color ramps: Mako and Viridis.

In celebration of #GISDay 2025 here is the only instance I know where geographic information systems and geodatabases are specifically named and described, to vampires, in a major motion picture.

Welcome to the biggest GIS Marketing day ever - #GISDay - where we try for the 40th year in a row to tell people why what we do is important and have those same people go "just drawing on a computer". Then everyone drinks afterwards.

🌍 World GIS Day: We are releasing a global satellite dataset of road surfaces for humanitarian routing & monitoring infrastructure change.
Paved vs. unpaved roads worldwide, based on high-res imagery to support better routing, accessibility mapping & planning where data is scarce.
