Geoviz 8.0.1 
There is now an `earth` layer type that allows you to add NaturalEarth basemaps to make the maps look nicer. And you can now export the maps in svg (with organized layers) for publishing cartography. See https://github.com/riatelab/geoviz #JavaScript #Spatial #Cartography #Maps

In our latest blog post, our Data Scientist Osheen MacOscar shares a great overview of how to use {ggplot2} and {gganimate}, when dealing with spatial data.

Back to my usual material - where was I? Oh yes, we know something about the landing sites. Paul Wooster (SpaceX) identified 4 areas (top map) in 2018. Matt Golombek et al. identified specific locations close to resources including ice at LPSC in 2021. Cole Pazar (Colorado School of Mines) added a few more soon after. I haven't seen much since then. It's all about hardware at the moment.
This is a good place to end this Mars sequence of posts. On to a new topic tomorrow.

What is the most universal way of representing GPS coordinates that Google Maps can also understand? I often need to give people a coordinate and use other maps than Google. Then when my partners copy the coordinate I to Google Maps, they end up in the Pacific Ocean or something.
EDIT: Got the answer!
Jerry Sanders, a NASA ISRU specialist (who sadly just took the deferred retirement option currently eroding NASA) described a putative base site in Jezero crater in a 2018 presentation. The map at left shows the base area slightly east of the delta explored by Perseverance. The layout is shown at right. Equipment would be landed before people arrived, and two Mars ascent vehicles would be fueled using local resources.

Looks like the Gulf of USA is being renamed again.
This time it's being called, "The Gulf of Release the Full Unedited Epstein Files You Fucking Liar."

My lovely is not on Mastodon, but I must nonetheless record the wonderful achievement of having reached our 25th anniversary! Here's a silver map to celebrate -- one of the silver medals coined in 1589 to mark Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation in 1577–80. #maps #cartography #maphistory
Visaya et al. presented a more elaborate exploration plan around Noctis Landing at LPSC in 2019 (top map). Shubham et al. added more details at another 2019 meeting and again at LPSC in 2021. The long traverses to Tharsis might require pre-positioned supplies. I can't really believe in traverses this long on Mars, but maybe one day... The other maps show targets with interesting compositions and fanciful names.
The scale of the top map should read 1000 km - oops!

In 2016, Sasha Trubetskoy made “The Unscientific Bay Area” map, tagging places with how Urban Dictionary defines them. It’s pretty funny!
Redkelp Bay, a new village made for Shadowdark RPG but generic enough to be used in any fantasy setting!
