  1. @russss @geofabrik I switched away from #shapefiles to #geopackage because shp can't be more than 4 (or is it 2) GiB.
    Otherwise I haven't been convinced...

  2. @seav Thank you so much for pointing me to the CShapes package! I’ve been looking for shape files of the late Ottoman Empire for years.

  3. I'm not one to toot my own horn very much, but my github.com/lostmapper/gis-dock project has been really handy for testing out some tools I've been creating for importing #Shapefiles into #PostGIS and then publishing them as layers in #GeoServer.

  4. Montana's State Historic commission require shapefiles to be submitted for all areas that are classified as historic.

  5. Missed your 25th birthday @shapefiIe (July 1998); that is 175 years in technology years! 🙃 😜 🤔 😁
    (and some are worried about Joe Biden!)

  7. I'm on a new project at work to create, store, and programmatically analyze datacenter building plans, eg. Calculating lengths of cable runs. I used to work in #gis, and remember just enough to know that all my approaches are hopelessly naive. Are #shapefiles still a viable option for low-ceremony vendor neutral structured #spatial analysis? (Probably from Python) cc. @sgillies

  8. It's a wrap! Just wrote the final installment in the story of Jack and Jill, the GIS pros who find love while sticking to their preferred tools (shapefiles and Python 2). It's a heartwarming tale with a happy ending

  13. Had ChatGPT write a heartwarming tale about a GIS pro who refuses to let go of his love for shapefiles. It's a reminder that sometimes, sticking to our roots and what we know can be more important than following the latest trends. #gis #shapefiles #geopackages #mapping #giscommunity #gispros #gischat #geospatial #shapefile @shapefile

  18. Ridiculous question: Is there an easy way to convert PDF #maps to #shapefiles? I'm still trying to figure out a way to get a shapefile of the US highway system circa 1975. #GIS

  19. Something I tend to preach to users has been put on a website with details:
    switchfromshapefile.org/

    Don't use if you have no special usecase.
    * exchange with dumb programs often still relies on it, though most implementations I see in real life are broken and ex-/import fail horribly
    * even the company that invented the file format (30 yrs ago?) usually produces invalid data
    * you never know, if the file format of the multiple files is borken or just the content
    * use more
