Ah yes, because what we truly need in 2023 is a #DIY guide to turn our beloved e-readers into high-contrast 🧭 #GPS devices. Why use an actual GPS when you can awkwardly fumble with your Kindle’s browser and a cascade of apps on your phone? 🙄📚 It's like trying to navigate using a magnifying glass and a sundial.

Model workshop today, working on housing for my b&g vulcan 7" plotter that I bought used last year. I place it on the roof top for best visibility, and the housing will protect it from saltwater spray ect, and all cabeling will be hidden and protected as well.

Next step is building the actial housing, and install the kit.

I am testing alternatives to Google Maps (or Apple Maps) at the moment.

To be honest, the usability of the open source software available is rather horrible, so I heard from an old friend: Here WeGo. Old friend, because it was #nokia here long ago.

I downloaded the app for my #iphone and registered on the webpage for my browser.

The usability is very good! One time, the app hang up on me but overall this could become my daily driver

⭐A new data-driven paradigm for the study of avian migratory navigation⭐

We propose how the multi-modal multi-scale nature of navigation could be studied w/ data mining, machine learning & AI.

SpringerLinkA new data-driven paradigm for the study of avian migratory navigation - Movement EcologyAvian navigation has fascinated researchers for many years. Yet, despite a vast amount of literature on the topic it remains a mystery how birds are able to find their way across long distances while relying only on cues available locally and reacting to those cues on the fly. Navigation is multi-modal, in that birds may use different cues at different times as a response to environmental conditions they find themselves in. It also operates at different spatial and temporal scales, where different strategies may be used at different parts of the journey. This multi-modal and multi-scale nature of navigation has however been challenging to study, since it would require long-term tracking data along with contemporaneous and co-located information on environmental cues. In this paper we propose a new alternative data-driven paradigm to the study of avian navigation. That is, instead of taking a traditional theory-based approach based on posing a research question and then collecting data to study navigation, we propose a data-driven approach, where large amounts of data, not purposedly collected for a specific question, are analysed to identify as-yet-unknown patterns in behaviour. Current technological developments have led to large data collections of both animal tracking data and environmental data, which are openly available to scientists. These open data, combined with a data-driven exploratory approach using data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, can support identification of unexpected patterns during migration, and lead to a better understanding of multi-modal navigational decision-making across different spatial and temporal scales.

Apple/Bing/Google Maps Alternatives

It’s the Gulf of Mexico. It was named that before the United States even existed, and Donald Trump doesn’t have the authority to name it anything else, no matter what his decaying fascist brain may think.

Despite this, the big tech companies of Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft, have all updated their maps to reflect what Trump wants. They can cave all they want. We have options.

Instead of using a mapping service which is beholden to the country it’s headquartered in, there is an open and worldwide service we can use, including for navigation. OpenStreetMap, founded in 2004, uses a combination of GPS traces, public domain information, and crowdsourcing. As the name indicates, the mapping information is open source and available to anybody who wishes to access it. This includes app developers who might wish to use OSM for mobile device navigation software.

There are two apps in particular, available on both iPhone and Android. The first is OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions), while the second is Organic Maps. Both apps are open source and are free to use. OsmAnd has a paid tier to unlock features such as unlimited maps (you only download the maps you need), while Organic Maps is funded by donations. Both apps work offline, so you can navigate even when you hit a dead cell signal zone. Most importantly, both apps focus on user privacy, as neither app collects any user data.

Interesting the both OsmAnd+ and Google Maps were happy to guide me into this parking and hiking area. And both are throwing a hissy fit when trying to guide me out. No matter where too, nearby, north or south. Google want me to start my journey on the other side of the river. But OsmAnd+ wants me to somehow jump 70km, take a ferry, drive around Ibiza, take another ferry. Both apps and my Suunto watch gets GPS lock and shows me spot on, to where I am.
