#30DayMapChallenge | Day 14 OSM | This map challenges the idea that streets belong to cars, even so-called sharrows that still feel unsafe. Using an inverted speed-limit hierarchy, fast roads fade. Bold bike infrastructure reveals how broken and fragmented the biking network is.

Absolutely fascinating essay:

“Are you seeing a robot's soulless prose? Or are you seeing the image of our Standard Eight English teacher, Mrs. Amollo”

#30DayMapChallenge | Day 27 Boundaries | A virtually rendered #LEGO map of the #BritishIsles, with each area in its own color and elevation shown by stacked plates. I also added an inset map for the first time, following the terrain style from my well-received #Arizona map.

#30DayMapChallenge: 21st century cartographers A wonderful challenge that allows us to dive into the work of some of today’s most creative cartographers and illustrators.

Day 30: Makeover

I remade my map from day 21 (bakeries in Paris) and tried to make it a bit more interesting by comparing population and bakery density.

#30DayMapChallenge
Day 29: Raster

Made a joyplot of Switzerland following @aasmith.bsky.social's instructions.

I'm sure it can be improved but I really like how it looks already!

Libya is correct, but #3 is not Chile :)

#30DayMapChallenge
Day 28: Black
For today I suggest a challenge within the challenge: can you find which country each map is centered on?

Day 27: Boundaries

How is the Arctic defined? Here are a few possible answers.

Day 26: Transport

Stargazing and biking?

Here are the parts of the EuroVelo network that have the least light pollution.

I also wanted to mention @chiaraphillips.bsky.social's very nice map of U.S. bee mortality as an inspiration!

Day 25: Hexagons

Somehow struggled to find interesting bee-related data, but here's the # of observations of the Western Honey Bee in Germany, according to @inaturalist.bsky.social data.

Thank you! Maybe one day I'll work on a nicer version then :-)

Day 24: Places and their names

I wanted to try something... but it needs a bit more work :-)

How to Animate Copernicus Wind Data in QGIS YouTube video by Chiara Phillips

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22/23, Natural Earth & Process

Uploaded a tutorial of how I made my typhoon map using data from Natural Earth and Copernicus, check it out: m.youtube.com/watch?v=efiG...

Create a Joy Plot Map in QGIS In this Workflow, I will show you how I created a Joy Plot style map from the 2025 30DayMapChallenge. There are multiple ways to achieve this; however, this method worked best for me. Tools Needed …

Day 23 - Process
Create a Joy Plot Map in QGIS

I created a workflow for creating a Joy Plot Map in QGIS. I plan on adding more workflows or tutorials in the future.

Hey that's really nice, I wanted to learn to make one!

Day 22 of #30DayMapChallenge ~ Natural Earth.

The Bathymetry of Lake Victoria.

Day 23: Process

I used QGIS to create one image per year, and then turned them into an animation using ffmpeg.

The command used here to turn all the .png of the folder into one video:

ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -framerate 2 -i "*.png" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Day 22: Data challenge: Natural Earth

#30daymapchallenge | Day 22 Data: Natural Earth | The Great Islands

Earlier this summer I finished this print version of my map from last year depicting our Great Lakes as islands. Been trying to learn more about lighting techniques in Blender—I think this was a big leap forward from 2024 version!

Day 21: Symbols

Side by side comparison, 1993-2023

Day 20: Water

Average (surface) temperature of the Baltic Sea from 1993-2023.

Data from @copernicusmarine.bsky.social

#30DayMapChallenge
Day 19: Projections

Not very inspired on this one, so a map of the world's roads (natural earth data).

Made on Blender, using HiRISE data.

Day 18: Out of this world

Water on Mars?!

Day 17: A new tool

Played around with #rayshader to look at Mont Rainier (Washington).

I spent much more time choosing the palette than making the map ahah, I ended up using this one:

Visualizing big spatial data: hexbins with QGIS & PostGIS • Gispo Visualizing spatial data with high volumes in an informative way can be tricky. One trick I have used quite a bit is that I have turned the points in QGIS

This map was mostly inspired by this article, I really like how the visualization looks.
