• Are there any good tools for making a modern map?

  I have used http://maps.stamen.com to good effect. Source: about 1 year ago

• I finished my first film photography zine!

  Thanks!! It was actually pretty easy. I got the map background from Stamen Maps (free), and for the vellum overlay I just traced all the points by hand and wrote the title on with a metallic gold marker. Source: over 1 year ago

• Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap

  The barriers to adopting vector-everywhere are social and commercial, not technical. There are a couple great public raster services like osm.org's default style and http://maps.stamen.com. These are 100% free to use, so they get used everywhere, but incur significant expense to the organizations running (paying) for them. There aren't equivalent solutions in vector-land yet... I wrote a bit about this previously:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A map zoom effect for a video I'm editing. Something I can improve?

  Thanks for the feedback. The map is from maps.stamen.com . When I re-watch the clip I also notice that the text is way to fast. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why are maps so hard to make?

  The Stamen toner map may work well for you: http://maps.stamen.com/#toner/14/37.8024/-122.2645 Also checkout their watercolor rendering... Probably my favorite basemap that I never get to use. If you do use QGIS, you can get the Quick Map Services plugin that will connect you with these Stamen basemaps as well (and tons of other basemaps, a must-have plugin). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?

  Yeah domain knowledge/network is definitely needed, I am working with a friend who has that, it's a must in this field because it's almost set in the stone age. Google maps was crazy expensive I went with Mapbox[1] for now which seems to have enough features and is less expensive. [1] https://mapbox.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• NEXT VALLEY - A single-screen Windows theme for KLWP [Sharing the whole damn thing]

  The location and weather panel has a live map displayed. Well, it won't for you, unless you grab a free API key from mapbox.com and paste it in the 1st global. Source: over 1 year ago

• QGIS in PowerBI

  If you want to show polygons it is a bit more difficult. With the above map functions you can create a Choropleth map by using predefined regions (like countries, states etc.). But for custom polygons it won't work. You can either use ArcGIS Online in combination with the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI viz or use the Mapbox Visual function (you need to install this one first by pressing "Get more visuals"). You can...
