Robin Hawkes has made a lovely website to go with his newsletter all about maps and spatial goodies.
This project, based on OpenStreetMap, looks great:
OpenFreeMap lets you display custom maps on your website and apps for free.
You can either self-host or use our public instance.
I’m going to try it out on The Session once there’s documentation for using this with Leaflet.
This is kind of about art direction and kind of about design systems.

My only concern is whether we are considering the question at all.
A timeline of city maps, from 1524 to 1930.
Well, this is a rather wonderful mashup made with data from thesession.org:
The distribution of Irish traditional tunes which reference place names in Ireland
80 geocoding service plans to choose from.
I’m going to squirrel this one away for later—I’ve had to switch geocoding providers in the past, so I have a feeling that this could come in handy.
