ProPublica: How the Rapid Spread of Misinformation Pushed Oregon Lawmakers to Kill the State’s Wildfire Risk Map. “After Oregon’s record-breaking fire season in 2020, lawmakers wanted to map out which properties were most at risk. But anger from homeowners escalated quickly.”
Hey, who wants to go to the #cinema in #Hanover? If you think that sounds like a good idea, don’t use a #map app that automatically scrapes #Wikipedia for locations to find one – unless you’re fine with watching a film on #AppleTV instead. Because where once was the historic cinema Palast Theater is now an #AppleStore. 
(The cinema shut down before #OpenStreetMap even existed, so don’t blame them!)
I have a question about mapping tools that can help with local activism/organizing/campaigns.
I am currently using Google Maps to plot individuals at various addresses. (Easy to import data to the map, I can share this with others, etc.)
But there is a problem. If there are multiple individuals with the same address, Google Maps only puts one pin at a given address...and no additional symbology/color to show you that more than one pin is plotted...even if you hover over it or click on it...only the top pin is shown.
What other mapping tools (that I can easily share with others) can properly display multiple pins at a given address?
(This question also opens the door to other features...can field operatives make updates in real time and share to a central data source/server?...and more and more.)
As always, for grass-roots stuff...free is best, lowest cost is next best.
Feel free to boost.
Thanks in advance!
I seem remember a #Mapping (Software Development) related #Event in Austria. I believe it was an #OpenSpace. I missed it several years and now can't remember how it was called.
Can someone tell me the name?
Found: It's the @comocamp 
(thanks to @kober for the pointer)

A great new initiative. Electricity – like public transport – is a lifeline for equity and development. If you can’t see them, you can’t improve them.

Decided to try out @MapComplete app during my holidays in Italy, and completed "a few" challenges. Was fun and interesting to find the answers to some of the questions.
Did not expect to reach the 2nd place for the last 7 days 
, excluding some edits I directly entered via @CoMaps

Share a screenshot of your favorite spot on the map, along with its coordinates! An intricate city, a hidden natural wonder, or something totally unique, tell us what makes this place special! Let's see your top picks!
@openstreetmap I noticed osm.org now uses #WebGL for the slippy map.
Having worked with #GPU drivers I keep that crap off on the web browser (which is as much an an untrusted context as it gets) for paranoia reasons :P
Is there a fallback that folks like me could activate?
Hey Mapping Fam, Geohipster is seeking map contributions for their 2026 GeoHipster calendar. They aren't on Masto, but you can get more info here https://www.geohipster.com/2026-geohipster-calendar/
Global Fishing Watch is now using infrared data from NOAA's VIIRS satellite to locate fishing boats on the high seas that have their Automated Identification System transponders turned off (presumably because they are fishing illegally). The system is sensitive enough to distinguish between North Korean and Chinese squid fishers, which use different lights.

I have a few photo books to make, of course with maps. Do people watch live streams of that sort of thing?
