Oof. Carto now requires an API key to use their #OpenStreetMap raster tilesets like Voyager, Position, and Dark Matter. And they don’t provide any info on their pricing page.
Maybe I’ll go with MapTiler instead.

Some #MapSurfing for #TextureTuesday... This time assorted satellite images from Katmai National Park in Alaska, specifically the delta at Iliuk Arm Naknek Lake (continuation of the Valley of 10000 Smokes)

Finally got a final client approval for this commissioned map of the Pampanga River basin / watershed. 🥳

Forget the latlon vs lonlat debate for a minute.
Another conflict is the winding order of coordinates for (multi)polygons. GeoJSON (RFC 7946) and Turf.js require counterclockwise outer rings and clockwise inner. Shapefiles, TopoJSON, and D3 geo expect the reverse.

Although the visualizer is still a bit rough, I've put together an index page where you can now download maps/stats, but also go straight to visualizations of exploration traces for the games I've been mapping (mostly Metroidvanias). The visualizer doesn't show multiple links or complex requirements well yet, and layouts are a challenge. But you can click around and see stuff, and the CSV files have interesting stats now (just submitted a paper for EXAG 2026 talking about metrics for discrete exploration games).
