Are there any geodata enthusiasts among the cyclists here?
Hi,
As I prepare for my fourth multi-week tour, I'm once again refining my skills in creating digital maps and leveraging geodata. I'm aiming for a style reminiscent of "ancient" explorer maps, as I find typical maps too cluttered with irrelevant details. Ideally, the farther from my route or track, the less information should be displayed.
I like the fact that the resulting digital map is almost fully "owned" by me, and I have full control over the styling.
What I also love is a bit of "programming" to e.g. calculate the sunrise / twilight for each place along the planned route and timeline. Takes a bit of "guesswork" out of the life on the road.
Who else here is experienced with QGIS, Overpass queries, or maybe Python? Why not challenge ourselves?
Last year I already included a page about the process in my journal, and want to improve my publications this year. Questions welcome as they will help me refining my documentation.
Christian
