Jon learns to make maps
For a while I’ve wanted to learn more about making maps & presenting spatial data. To motivate myself, I’m going to try to share an artifact of my explorations every day.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t know exactly where this will go. I might add some commentary. I might fall behind. There might be boring maps where the underlying technology I’m trying to learn doesn’t manifest itself in pretty things.
1. Every drivable road in Seattle
Boring technical details:
I used OSMnx to generate a shapefile of every path within Seattle city limits, then with ogr2ogr I converted the shapefile to GeoJSON, and finally rendered that in a web page with d3.
