🗺️ DAY 9/ 10: AI/ Pen and Paper - The UK as interpreted by ChatGPT, and Pangaea as interpreted by my hand for these two #30DayMapChallenge Been a while since I’ve gotten to do some arts and crafts! AI-UK just gets stranger the more you look

🗺️ DAY 13: NEW TOOL - Not exactly new, but relatively. ArcGIS Pro! I’m so used to QGIS and the former ArcMap, that Pro is still pretty new to me. Learning all along the way! #ESRI #ArcGIS #30DayMapChallenge Redoing some maps from my PhD tree canopy identification.

🗺️ DAY 14: WORLD - How Worldly is the distribution of the history of world fairs? Not much it seems according to today’s #30DayMapChallenge. If you’re into planning, architecture, the world fair and serial killers couldn’t recommend “Devil in the White City” enough!

🗺️ DAY 15: MY DATA - “Map something personal”… What’s the distribution of Jacob-based places around Great Britain? Using Ordnance Survey place names for today’s #30DayMapChallenge. Lots of Jacob’s ladders about.

It’s an alright map, but I don’t think I’d give many points for the use of GIS software. Looks like NL was just drawn in with a single colour green… map projections OK, but lots of empty space here we could make use of! #GIS #DatViz

🗺️ DAY 16: CHOROPLETH - What does the UK look like when coloured in by #PremierLeague Premier League football club colours? That’s today’s #30DayMapChallenge! Obviously the polygon sizes aren’t proportionate to importance - LFC hidden away in their NW corner! ⚽️
