Prompt 5/Day 5 of #30daymapchallenge is "Earth".

A fringe event of #sotmeu25 is the Makers Gonna Make hackathon. They used a graphic of the Earth to promote the event, and show where Dundee is in the world. In a week's time this is where lots of #OpenStreetMap folk will be gathering!

Prompt 3/Day 3 of #30daymapchallenge is "Polygons" or Areas as we call them in the #OpenStreetMap data.

There won't be 30 graphics like this, but for the #sotmeu25 conference our main graphic element has been these buildings of #Dundee city centre. There's strange gaps where historic docks have been filled in, waiting for new building development to take place or used as city gardens. The large Overgate shopping centre is noticeable , arching round the Steeple Churches.

Prompt 2/Day 2 of #30daymapchallenge is "Lines" or Ways as we call them in the #OpenStreetMap data.

This is another graphic we're using at the #sotmeu25 conference, it's all the ways in the city centre and it looks very different from other maps. The railway and dual-carriage roads get very busy with their multiple lines. The River Tay estuary causes a much stronger effect than other graphics, but the V&A building still juts out over it like a cliff face.

Prompt 1/Day 1 of #30daymapchallenge is "Points" or Nodes as we call them in the #OpenStreetMap data.

We're using this graphic in some of the materials for #sotmeu25 conference. If you know Dundee and can orientate yourself, Whitehall Crescent is most recognisable with it's curved street of shops. A rectangle with diagonal brace stands out, that's a park with all the trees mapped.
