UC Central Live: Mappy Hour

Are 3D maps superior? Ken, Nathan, and Edie demonstrate the benefits of adding a Z coordinate with a spatial-temporal case study of Covid cases in Japan, an infographic about America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, and an interactive road trip guide that Edie says might be her favorite map in the entire gallery.

Shannan Gonzales discusses how she jump-started her career in cartography, John Nelson shows off a set of posters made for Esri’s Swiss-German user conference, and Sarah Bell explains how drawing by hand has improved her digital mapmaking.
