GIScussions: Backdating the Defence Map to the End of the Cold War – Claude Understands UI Better Than Me

GIScussions: Backdating the Defence Map to the End of the Cold War – Claude Understands UI Better Than Me

After I published my map of defence spending a friend suggested that it would be interesting to see how things had changed since the end of the Cold War in 1990/91.

I knew that the data I had covered a longer time period so I asked Claude if we could update the map and it checked the data and confirmed that there was reasonable data coverage back to the mid 70’s so I decided to backdate (or is it update?) the map to run from 1975 to 2024.

What’s new

The extended map now runs from 1975 to 2024, covering periods that include the final years of the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the post-9/11 surge in Western defence spending, and the sharp remilitarisation following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Sean Gillies: Run Rabbit Run training weeks two through seven

The first half of summer has flown by. I'm quickly catching up on six busy weeks here.

  • 53 hours, 52 minutes all training

  • 130.1 miles running and hiking

  • 16,220 feet D+ running and hiking

That's about 9 hours of exercise, 22 miles of running and hiking, and 2,700 feet D+ per week. I've been active enough to maintain my base fitness, but haven't done much building. Travel and vacation have kept me from sticking to a regular workout schedule.

In week two, I participated in Laramie's Pilot Hill Classic 25K race for the first time. I experienced cramps again, but not as bad as at Quad Rock. I tripped a few times on the way down, and once did a full Superman dive, head-first, onto a smooth (luckily) stretch of trail. I had some calf cramps and a bloody elbow after that, but the cramps cleared up before the finish.

GIScussions: Who Spends the Most on Defence and Who’s Selling the Weapons?

With Keir Starmer recently losing a Defence Secretary and then leaving a budgetary timebomb for his successor as PM, Andy Burnham, I thought it might be interesting to see how we rank on defence spending and who are the world’s largest exporters and importers of arms.

I started out by trying to find some data on arm sales and Claude sent me to SIPRI where you can download very granular data on almost every transaction but after playing with the data I decided to take a simpler approach and map expenditure as a % of GDP (which is what Trump and the NATO powers have been arguing about) and exports and imports of major arms.

QField: The many ways to share maps with friends, teammates, and the public in QField

Over the years, QField has gained a number of ways through which authors can share their mapping projects. This post looks at the multiple ways this can be achieved and what scenarios fit each method best.

Leveraging QFieldCloud Sharing maps to the public

QFieldCloud users all have the ability to configure their projects as ‘public’. When the option is turned on, all QFieldCloud users will be allowed to download and browse these maps at will.

These users coming in to view the map are given a reader role, prohibiting changes to the underlying datasets included in the project. This can be a great option when wanting to share maps to a large number of readers while relying on QFieldCloud to host the content and keep users up-to-date through synchronization.

Dual Maps Goes 3D

Dual Maps, an old Maps Mania favorite, has undergone a bit of a makeover this week. As you may have heard, Google recently removed its classic 45° bird's-eye aerial imagery from the Maps JavaScript API. This oblique aerial perspective was one of the core synchronized views offered by Dual Maps. The removal of the bird's-eye view has therefore prompted Map Channels to undertake a ground-up revamp

Sandro Santilli: Asking a Local LLM to Calculate Car Travel Costs

I asked a locally-downloaded LLM to compute the cost of a car trip using natural language. No calls to any cloud service, just a model queried by an inference tool running on my own machine.

The Setup

The machine used for this excercise is a LemurPro laptop from around 2020, has a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz CPU and 16GB of RAM. No GPU.

The Procedure
  1. I downloaded the unsloth/gemma-4-E4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL model from Hugging Face - about 4GB in size.

  2. I built and installed llama-server from the llama.cpp project - version: 9570 (3ac3c20c9).

  3. I ran llama-server -m gemma-4-E4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf

How France Sneaked 9 Teams into the World Cup

There are 99 players born in France in the 2026 World Cup. Each national team can name a squad of only 26 players. This means that 73 players representing other national teams were actually born in France. In other words, there are nearly four full squads' worth of French-born players at the 2026 World Cup.There are 1,248 players participating in the 2026 World Cup in total, and you can view the

GeoServer Team: GeoServer 3 is here, from crowdfunding to release

GeoServer 3.0 is now generally available. This post is not a feature announcement, those have been written, and the release notes cover the details. This is something we get to do less often: closing the loop on a promise. The modernisation work the community funded is finished and shipping, and we want to account for what that funding set out to achieve and what it delivered.

The result is a platform brought back onto a current, supported foundation. The work reached across the wider ecosystem rather than GeoServer alone, and the scope the campaign promised has been covered.

QField: QField 4.2 "Coral Sea": Reaching sub-centimeter accuracy out of the box

QField: QField 4.2 "Coral Sea": Reaching sub-centimeter accuracy out of the box

Here’s another QField release, packed with the features that have been at the top of professional surveyors’ wish list! (hint: it’s in the title) — plus improvements across the board for our wide range of users.

Main highlights

NTRIP & Bluetooth Low Energy

First up, NTRIP support has been added in QField unlocking sub-centimeter accuracy position readings without the need for any third-party app. This has long been requested by cadastral surveyors and other professional field workers in need of highly accurate data where being a few centimeters off can have real consequences.

To configure an NTRIP connection, simply connect to an RTK capable GNSS device via Bluetooth, BLE or TCP from the QField settings positioning panel. Once connected, the NTRIP user interface will be visible just below the positioning devices combo box in the same panel.

GIScussions: When Your Maps Disappear Overnight – A PMTiles Horror Story

GIScussions: When Your Maps Disappear Overnight – A PMTiles Horror Story

Thanks to Mario Ame

Everything was working fine. I had just finished building the Grow Your Own allotments map, deployed it to the live server, and was feeling pretty pleased with myself. A few days later a friend messaged me that the map had stopped working. No regions, just a blank basemap. Checked the console and got this:

“Server returned no content-length header or content-length exceeding request. Check that your storage backend supports HTTP Byte Serving.”

The Cheap Eats Map

With the cost of living becoming a major concern for many people, finding affordable places to eat has become increasingly important. While restaurant review platforms often emphasize ratings, trends, or premium dining experiences, there is relatively little focus on helping people quickly locate genuinely low-cost meal options. Fooglemap hopes to address this gap by making budget-friendly

GIScussions: Ebola Outbreaks in Africa

GIScussions: Ebola Outbreaks in Africa

The current outbreak of Ebola has inevitably triggered lots of maps of the outbreak, just search for “Maps of the Ebola outbreak in Africa” and you will find something like this.

Some of these are pretty good, some don’t communicate very well and a few are awful. My attention was drawn to a static map obviously generated by AI which was so so bad that it was laughable and you had to wonder why anyone share this without picking up the numerous obvious geographic errors.

The Syphilis Blame Game

Do you remember how during his first term Donald Trump kept calling Covid the "Chinese Virus"? This impulse to point fingers across borders is nothing new. When syphilis swept Europe after the 1495 Naples outbreak, no nation would own it. Instead, blame spread faster than an STD in a retreating French army platoon: the Russians called it the "Polish Disease," the Poles called it the "

The Geography of Country Names

There’s a pretty clear geographical split in what different countries call Greece. In most of Europe, the name comes from the Latin Graecia. But across North Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia, the name is usually derived from Ionia or Yunan, through Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and related linguistic influences. The split basically reflects two different historical contact routes:

Sandro Santilli: Writing a Blog Post with OpenCode

This blog post was written by an AI coding agent. Specifically, by opencode, a terminal-based coding assistant, running against a remote inference provider (OpenCode Zen) serving the opencode/big-pickle model.

The entire process took about two minutes. Here is how it went.

I opened a terminal, typed opencode, and when the prompt appeared I pasted the following:

Write a blog post about writing this blog post using this coding agent and a remote inference provider. Include this prompt and the name of the LLM model.

The agent then explored the codebase to understand the blog structure (it found Hugo with the Indigo theme, looked at existing posts for style and frontmatter conventions), asked a clarifying question about which provider to name, and produced this very file — complete with correct frontmatter, matching date format, and consistent URL scheme.

gvSIG Team: Novedades gvSIG Desktop 2.7: Edición vectorial a partir de rumbo y distancia

En la nueva versión de gvSIG Desktop, la 2.7, se han incluido tres herramientas que permiten crear geometrías de líneas y polígonos mediante rumbo y distancia. Para ello se han incluido tres funciones nuevas en el gestor de expresiones:

  • PointByAngle(): Permite insertar nuevos puntos de la geometría mediante un ángulo y una distancia. El ángulo sería antihorario, siendo el origen 0º en dirección este. La fórmula sería:

PointByAngle(geometría, distancia, ángulo)

donde “geometría” sería el punto desde el cual se insertaría la nueva línea (siendo “$p0” el último punto insertado, “$p1” el penúltimo…), “distancia” sería la longitud del segmento en las unidades de la vista, y “ángulo” sería el ángulo en grados sexagesimales. Por ejemplo PointByAngle($p0,10, 10) sería como se muestra a continuación, 10 metros con un ángulo de 10º sobre la horizontal.

Sean Gillies: Run Rabbit Run training week one, and cramps

Welcome to week one of my year's second eighteen week training program. I'm gearing up for a race that I've never run before, a long-standing one that is close to home: Steamboat Springs' Run Rabbit Run. The 50 mile course goes from the base of Steamboat Mountain, up Right-o-way, then up next to the Thunderhead Express lift, and then (as far as I can tell) up around Tornado and Buddy's Run to one of the chutes and onto the ridge just below Mt. Werner. 3,500 feet D+ (dénivelé, in French, or cumulative elevation gain) in the first 6.5 miles. From there it rolls through the high country to Rabbit Ears Peak and then returns along the same route. The total elevation gain is almost 9,000 feet. It doesn't climb quite as much as the 50 mile Quad Rock course, which I've finished three times, but is at higher altitude. I'm looking forward to it!
