Thirty Days of Mapping (FME-ing) #30DayMapChallenge 2022

Topi Tjukanov of Finland launched the #30DayMapChallenge in 2019 where hundreds of maps were made and shared on social media using the #30DayMapChallenge hashtag. Each days presents a map challenge focused on a different spatial feature or topic.
The topics for #30dayMapChallenge 2022 were:
 
As a die hard user of FME from (Safe Software),what could be a better opportunity to put my FME skills to test!

I have been participating in #30DayMapChallenge @tjukanov since  2019.
Since 2020, I have been able to post an entry on all the 30 days of #30DayMapChallenge.
And that calls for a celebration! because it is a hat-trick.

This post is a collection of all entries for #30DayMapChallenge 2022 by @Saint_GIS, most of which have been accomplished only using FME and in few cases, due to the nature of the challenge, the data prepared using FME.

Some entries additionally have their #FMEAR Augmented Reality versions as well.
Special thanks to Dmitri Bagh and Lena Bagh at Safe Software for all the inspiration!

Happy FME-ing :-) reading my #30DayMapChallenge 2022 entries!

I was planning to do a 3D on Day 28 using #MapnikRasterizer
But finally got to do it on Day 30:Remix
Kind of 3D visualization effect using MapnikRasterizer in FME from Safe Software



It may be 30 days of gruelling, brainstorming; putting all your learning and experience into practice or self test To me, the whole idea of participating and contributing to #30DayMapChallenge 2022 is about promoting #GIS
But then the satisfaction in having contributed to promotion of GIS outweighs everything else!

GIS Temper, Let us not lose it!

I take this opportunity to thank all those who contributed in some way or the other, to my career and to what I am today in the field of GIS!

Thanks to Safe Software for such a wonderful product/platform "FME" that helped me to convert,transform,share and integrate data from multi-farious sources and types, not just for this #30DayMapChallenge 2022, but for the last 22 years of my career in GIS

Last but not the least, special thanks to my family (my wife and son) for all the patience, understanding and support, while I meticulously worked on the submission every day!

India: I Speak GIS

Image
Geography or GIS for that matter has never been so closer to our lives. Citizens and Planners of our country have never had so much insight into the lives of the people: Where they live, How they live and What they do? Thanks to GIS for having opened their eyes to this new era of Geospatial Democracy. “Maps speak subtle and surprising truth”. But surprisingly in a country like India, the world’s largest democracy, maps have always been confined to geographers and planners. The hoi polloi, who constitute the basic tenets of democracy, have always been silently and safely ignored in most of our planning processes and kept away from accessing the geospatial data. Among the greatest shortcomings of Indian democracy is the citizens being denied the information they need to make meaningful choices. With the enactment of Freedom of Information Act, 2002: An Act to provide for freedom to every citizen to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, consistent with publ...
