Last week’s workshop series on modern web mapping with #rstats went great! We covered 3D basemaps, custom map design, fast filtering in Shiny, story maps, and more. If you missed out, I’ve made the workshop recordings and in-depth tutorials available: walkerdata.gumroad.com/l/modern-mappi…

I rave about @protomaps' PMTiles as a transformative technology. Here's an example: 📊 All 8 million+ US Census blocks; 🗺️ Visualized in 3D with MapLibre (via #rstats); 💻 Locally on my laptop - and the fan is running nice and cool. Writing up a blog post, I'll teach you how!

Our #rstats Shiny dev is so much happier now that he's discovered the {mapgl} package! (Sorry, had to!) While you're at it, check out mapgl: walker-data.com/mapgl/

In the latest version of the #rstats {mapgl} package you can export features from the draw control as GeoJSON. The video shows how you can edit features, export your edits, then open up in QGIS! Learn about this & much more in my latest workshops: walkerdata.gumroad.com/l/modern-mappi…
