Cool satellite image, now what?Inge van Daelen, Red Geographics
Here at Red Geographics we've introduced the concept Friday Funday. This day is reserved for learning new things. However, what was supposed to be a nice friday afternoon somewhere in july, turned into a whole side business. Thanks to Tom Patterson and his Landsat tutorial, I discovered my creative side A few months later we had many cool satellite images that were just taking up space on the hard drive. We decided to actually use them and create Blue Geographics. So let me show you how the process went and what we've been up to!
It's (not) all black and white: our greyscale mapping adventuresHans van der Maarel, Red Geographics
Through word-of-mouth, chance and sometimes pure luck we've done a number of greyscale map projects in the past years, mainly for academic publications but also for a historic fiction novel. Aside from having to convey a lot of information through greyscale, there is the added challenge of doing so on a small surface area, the uncertainty of the final print quality and the often very esoteric subjects with hard to find source data and reference maps. But we enjoy a challenge!
Empowering Mapmakers with Maps for AdobeAnna Breton, Esri
Today I'll demonstrate new features in ArcGIS Maps for Adobe, including vector tiles in Illustrator. I’ve been fortunate to witness the evolution of Maps for Adobe since close to its inception. As an intern on the team four years ago, I couldn’t imagine the extent to which I would be involved all these years later. Now, I’m a member of the team as a product engineer. My personal background allows me a unique perspective on the product’s design capabilities, but the product is much more than a just a design tool. We’ve grown to provide support for ArcGIS Pro and Enterprise in addition to other advanced capabilities, empowering cartographers, graphic designers, and GIS professionals. I look forward to demonstrating our new features with you.
Mapping Botanical Gardens with a Mobile GPS MapperDave Asheim and Anna Busby, Engage by Cell
To reduce the expense and waste of paper maps and to provide a more engaging experience, botanical gardens and other cultural venues are turning to digital maps to enhance the visitor experience. In this presentation, Daphne Harper, Senior Mobile Solutions Consultant with Engage by Cell, will describe use cases at Brenton Arboretum, Naples Botanical Garden, and Missouri Botanical Garden where venues are using a GPS Mapper to guide and educate visitors. A map created on the GPS mapper platform is accessible via text. Users receive a link and click through to see themselves moving through an geographic area within Google Maps. Conference attendees will learn how to create and customize GPS Mapper for any venue.
